Twitter

Didn't save password, now I can't log in or out of the account. Can't even contact support because they don't use the support email anymore. Disappointing.

Twitter is a social media platform that caters to one political group in America and a political ideology that is common around the world. They are known to censor (with evidence) conservatives on their platform, suspend or delete accounts related to conservative beliefs. I am by all means not a conservative, I live in Italy and my ideology is based on the beliefs of democratic socialism. My issue with this platform is their favoritism towards one group and completely ignore or shut the other group out.

The number of words to be used is limited. This makes a user limited in their description of items one is advertising, this can bring about misleading statements. The platform can be toxic bringing about challenges in relation to mental health due to cyber bullying and fake accounts used to tear down individuals profiles.

Tried to log on one morning and found my iPhone app couldn't bring up my account. Tried various methods to reconnect over a few days with Twitter's roboHelp and finally came to the realization that I had better things to do. I will miss some of the sharp/funny/insightful posts. I won't miss the noise. Good riddance! Goodbye.

Twitter is beginning to lose control of the millions and millions of users it has. Complaints abound on every issue, from unwarranted blocking of accounts, to lack of proper checks for fake news.

Twitter has developed the annoying habit of dropping multi-part tweets. They offer the capability, and attempt to maintain reading order of the resulting multi-part tweet, but then can randomly fail to post any/all of the individual component tweets.

And just like facebook, instagram, and other "social media" service providers, they don't really offer any meaningful technical support. In fact, I am not certain Twitter even provides a way to report problems... even if there is, finding it and accssing it would require hours, assuming THAT feature worked at all.

So, you get what they feel like giving you, in this case (much like facebook and instagram) a defect-ridden joke service.

No use trying to use the snazzy feature their staff invested so much time/effort in designing/implementing, it doesn't work. I will have to construct tweets the old-fashioned way: use a separate text editor, post them one at a time, in reverse order (so they are fed in reading order), and verify that each has become available before posting the next.

I don't like their new interface. It is so uncomfotable! I don't understand the reason of such changes.

Shadowban/censor - always log out of the account that posted the content (anywhere on the net) and make sure your post is still visible). Website [shadowban dot eu].
WokE - twitter concentrates on minorities, artificially boosts certain hashtags (LGBT/liberal to name some), removes certain "controversial (eg, accurate) hashtags. People seem to be realising this, which is why twitter stats (siteworthtraffic.com, type in twitter dot com) appear to be diving

Getting somewhat bored of it tbh. There's just so much sh t on there. It becomes tedious. The first 5 years were ok.

Noticed how '5 replies' seems to turn into no tweets? Some shadow-censoring going on there.

Update - ok. So for the first time ever, I used the block feature. And it gave me the opt of viewing their tweets. So it doesn't block, does it? A block feature, means it blocks. If it doesn't block, it's not a block feature.

(intro)

So twitter's popularity is going down. My guess, is that to start with, you're in the frame of mind to argue against 50% of the bull sh t you see posted on there. After a few months, you get bored. And you don't bother going on the site. [to argue/highlight bs]

(prev review)

Twitter is getting really good at silencing anything which doesn't agree with the hashtag. Burying replies, shadowcensoring/shadowbanning. Burying opposing replies - really great, say, for a government that wants to win an election. I had my account shadowcensored for 48 hours, for commenting on a tweet that "#LGBT makes me feel better about not being #LGBT". Ooo. K.

So June 2019 I discovered the term 'Terf(blocker)'. ('This tweet is unavailable' prompted some research). It's a non sensicle way of describing (and blocking) people who don't agree that men, who have had an operation, are now women. I have no opinion on the subject. Let the 0.5% do whatever they want, but yeah, it would be nice if you didn't use your 'previous maleness' to r. A. p. E women, win at sports... or whatever it is they are concerned about.

What's vaguely concerning, is apparently the way the (Terf)blocker works. It will block people who follow particular people. Ie, if you don't like what Donald Trump stands for, it will block anyone who follows Donald Trump. Protect your bubble.com, I suppose. Again, (repeating myself from below - it's not unreasonable that twitter can do anything it wants with it's own house. As long as people are made aware of it).

(personally? If I see something I disagree with, I find it much more satisfying to call them out on it, rather than just blank them)

It seems to be following the media/university thing of..."inclusivity". For universities, this is about tuition fees. Universities now want £9,000 to study, and want to attract the 0.5%. Universities are "assuming" the 99.5% are a given, and will still automatically stay. Plus a University getting free publicity on social media is, free publicity.

Update on the update. Accounts which I've barely used, have many "Tweet unavailable" messages. Logging out of twitter and viewing the same thread, brings up less "unavailable" messages. Odd.

Twitter also seem to bury a lot of good posts (from other people). Someone posting "snowflake" had been flagged as "offensive content".

****shadowban stuff****

A shadowban is when your post is only visible to your account, and people who follow you. It is for 'subtley' silencing users. Because if someone is aware that they're banned, they create another account. But if someone can see their posts, they aren't aware no one else can see them.

There is a website shadowban.eu that can test for you.

(just a note, facebook, and also youtube shadow deletes as well. If you leave reviews or comments on a page that the owner doesn't like, they can blank them so that your comment/review shows up to your login, but no-one elses. How do I know this - a) because I've had it done to me and b) because I've created pages and done it myself)

My shadowban was caused by uploading the same image twice, to two posts, in quick succession. If you want to upload the same image to two posts, I'd advise leaving 10 minutes between posting.

There are some possible fallouts from a shadowban, after your account is re instated. I would recommend having a second account to test. When you reply to a comment made on a tweet (as opposed to commenting directly on the tweet itself), your comment might not be visible to other twitter accounts. Your comment will be visible to yourself, and may be visible when you log out of twitter, and the above shadowban.eu website won't flag anything unusual. (and your reply will still be visible to the person who created the comment that you replied to, so they won't be aware of anything unusual).

Update-if you get shadowbanned and un-banned, you might get some unreliable posting. Tbh I'd recommend a new account. You can change all your name *******@handle details to your old account (obv change your old *******@handle to something else first).

Twitter (as with facebook, possibly others) has been said to be liberal leaning. The twitter format can be quite 'effective' at silencing right wing or aggressive views. The way replies to comments are displayed on threads, it can be easy to miss certain replies. Often you don't want to click a particular comment that has replies indicated (but not displayed) because your screen will be taken away from the entirety of the tweet thread you are viewing.

If you do get banned or suspended, a quick web search will show that it's not an uncommon occurrence. Apparently Republicans tend to get silenced (no matter how nuts you may think they are)

Personally, I spent some of my shadowban time reporting the cr@p out of offensive tweets. Interestingly, the recent Syrian Begum story, the trends kept 'disappearing'. Not that I'd ever suggest twitter can silence contentious issues. Still, it's their house, as they say. The important thing is to be aware of it.

Hard to login cuz they are always labeling you a hacker. Cannot use proxies, they want to ID you an profile you. Maybe ot worth the time bothering with this site. Guess they have no way of reliably telling who is legitimate user. Makes it very hard to use it. Sitejabber search mechanism does not work, cannot search for companies without the help of a search engine.

It was embarrassed to recognize that twitter supported Hamas and ISIS. While many Christians are banned from Twitter or asked to post their driver's license to keep their account open, others are blocked completely. Twitter has a close connection with Apple computers and together they make decisions that seem to support the creation of a new society, globalism and the freedom of speech for ISIS.

Here is the report with pictures posted on Twitter to invite assassination and mayhen. Do you agree that freedom of speech should not include violence? Do you agree that violence moves freedom of speech into a criminal realm? Should people have freedom to kill others that don't want to convert to the Muslim religion?

Here are the facts, you be the judge. Please pass the information on. It may just save a life and it may be ours. America has to stand firm against terrorism and fake news.

I dont like twitter, never knew what to post with such a little amount of characters. Therefore my account is dead, and i just follow a bunch of celebrities because of their funny posts that spam my stream. Tell me what to do with it and i'll change my mind.

Twitter is not my favourite site.
Ive tried using it but its just so clogged up with nonsense that I don't see the point.
Most people I know used it for a while then got bored with it.
I think the idea is to write down your activities and thoughts in less than 140 characters and the publish them for all the world to see.
Tends to get filled up with lots of spam links to websites.
I thought you got locked up if you followed celebities.
Overall - Useless.

Worse support in history don't even expect to talk to a human or get any help. If you struggle with a locked account or worse most likely you will have to make a new account. But please don't even bother I've been dealing with twitter support giving me a hard time for 5 months now. Twitter use to be my favorite app but their support ruins entire thing.

There are keywords that trigger captcha phrases involving corona virus and voter fraud.

If youre lucky.

The rest of them get banned.

Sometimes twitter is like a whole bunch of random junk from self-help/motivational books and crappy forwards. People don't even write about their mundane lives. All they do is retweet what other people say usually with links to articles or blogs or something. Not easy to find people and sometimes you get all these random followers from something you said. Like I said I didn't like my gym and said the gym's name and then I got all these followers from gyms and stuff like that.

If you want to waste your time go look at fluffy kitties or something.

I don't like how you are limited to 140 characters in a tweet. I also don't like how people flood to this site after every terrorist attack or natural disaster. Like it's gonna help the people affected by the tragedies. Gimme a break.

Twitter is a service that allows you to post whatever you want. Unfortunately, the lack of moderation is what starts huge and heated arguments. Twitter allows you to post about topics like politics, and of course this starts disagreements. If you want to discuss about your life and avoid all drama, avoid Twitter. Twitter is polluted with ignorant, disrepectful people who won't agree with you no matter if your post is political or not. Twitter is also a victim of users who camp the site all day for a post that even slightly offends them, and there is instantly public outcry. This review may sound exaggerated, but sadly this is true, and it is quite hilarious how easily a so - called "LGBTQ" community member is easily offended by a joke or how easily a Politcal Bigot will disrespect your opinion. If you don't like drama, avoid Twitter. It is not a well moderated - and executed site. Instagram and Facebook are good substitutes, with much less pollution from people who can't respect your damned opinion. There are even pedophiles pretending to normalize dating chidren, it is absolutely disgusting. Twitter started out as an innocent social media site, but it has been taken advantage of by people who simply can't mind their own business or keep their mouth shut. I reccommend avoiding twitter for the time being.

I've wasted hundreds of dollars advertising to twitter and I've gotten suspended multiple times. I have reported numerous cases of harassment against myself and they are always ignored.

The concept is great but tweets are changing too fast and it's difficult to follow unless you're on it 24/7.

A really sad social networking site for people with no friends. It's great for sharing short news/links but 90% people on twitter are either braindead/self-absorbed/stupid fantard tweens/ghetto black people. I set up my twitter account just to see what's all the fuss about it. I never use it anymore because it's pretty much mundane and most of my friends I followed were my real life friends anyway. There were occasionally some lulzworthy celebrity breakdown but some of these celebs are irrelevant anyway. Conclusion: Don't bother to sign-up.

Used to be great fun. Now it just panders to anyone that claims to be victims of harassment, real or imaginary, even going so far as to delete user's accounts permanently.
I'm deleting my account.
