Re:Goodbye, Twitter on Monday November 02, 2020 @12:01AM (#24964951)
Errata:

- Due to public and political _profit_

Quick hn poll has _anyone_ seen anyone else talk about “Twitter rewrites any URLs”, Facebook, google or Hyperlink auditing?

- default feed display: was designed to give you their message - twitter: “it’s what we say is happening”

- engagement base timeline - again we only allow those that have passed our filters and tests to show you most content - another “it’s what we say is happening” tweak.

- defaults to switch all behaviors: and then planned re-defaults to get 80 of the 20 that switch back each time

WHY YOU SHOULD QUIT TWITTER NOV 4

MORE THAN ANYTHING: there’s a mouth breathing ugly person at twitter making these decisions and _they actually think you’re too stupid to realize all these changes gives them editorial control_

They think you’re too stupid, they think they’re done genius that got away with it, that you can’t put 2 and 2 together

They’re gloating right now - laughing at you

2 + 2 = 4

break free, don’t give your time to be told someone else’s version of what’s happening, your time is too valuable

Lock up political profiteers
