in essence, twitter works very much like IRC if you think about it

Not really. Irc is built around conversations. Twitter is built around headlines and announcements

Twitters format is not set up for lengthy communication. The post limits and formatting work against that

Yeah, IRC never had a post length limit

Nor did it show conversations in fucked up segments

Imagine if the retweet/reblog system only worked if you enabled the specific entry to be retweeted/reblogged.

i mean the inner workings, e.g: hashtags is euphemism for a chatroom

It would have to be a new service altogether.

It's just content tagging

Other social media sites also had it, or implemented it after

Tbh MySpace was better, as shit as it was

There were a bunch of chat rooms you could enter in and debate people, and if you weren't into that you didn't touch it

Perfect

Now people shit where they eat and then complain about the quality of their food

they post pics from parties they go to after calling in sick and their bosses see it

or they post how they are committing a crime lmao

lol

i love those

Not just that

They turn everything into a political issue because srsbsns talk and shitposting/entertainment are in the same space

There's not really a guaranteed "recreational twitter"

Whereas Facebook you only have to deal with friends and family

And MySpace you'd just hop out of religion and philosophy, and into vidya or movies

People being fired for political opinions was handled by society as poor as you could possibly imagine

Even if you don't post something you mean as rude or offensive some bluecheck asshole can make a mountain out of a molehill and now you're fucked

Every shitty precedent was set.

Absolutely

People are worms.

One more reason I'm happy to not have twitter

And also a good reputation at work

Tbh so far I've had only one place I didn't apply to because of political firing concerns, and I live in canuckistan

And it was because they directly said they were a pro "social justice" workplace

I've never heard of a conservative or libertarian workplace

which is pretty odd

And I'm not keen to find out what an ideological workplace looks like

It's not odd. Libertarians just wanna run a good company. Most conservatives too (and even the ones more morally driven tend to put the business first)

But when your job app says you're committed to an ideology, as an employer, that's a "nuke it from orbit"

The problem was that Boomers didn't know bravery.

Too many cowards in power at the initial important stages of this new development of internet-work relations.

Everyone was a coward.
