Good job with that UI update, Lorne. Great noticing of features. :heart:
-
I'm really glad you guys spent probably, gonna guess here, millions of dollars in design, meetings, promotion, C-level and developer salaries, to change the "like" to a "heart". I mean, it's an amazing new feature, and surely all your efforts should be focused on the APPEARANCE of something rather than the FUNCTIONALITY of it.
Wait, what's this? I'm getting word from my producer. Breaking news, people. We're receiving this image right now:

What your looking at is me liking my own Tweet.
Twitter executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
-
I thought you could always favorite/like your own tweets.
And: why shouldn't you be able to?
-

I never was able to. The Favorite interaction was always disabled, as far as I remember.
And you shouldn't because it's supposed to be an indicator of other people's interaction with your Tweet, not your own upvoting.
Example: Try to your own
Tweetposthere. Or Like your own post of FleeceBook

You're not dictator of the world. That's your opinion.
I write stuff, I frequently like the stuff I write. If I used the gamification buttons, why shouldn't I be able to like my own stuff? It's so arbitrary to prevent that from happening.
-
: why shouldn't you be able to?
Because it's dumb? You presumably like the smell of your own posts

That's been possible for ages, at least as far back as December 2014.Yes, I did go back through my full Likes list to find that out.
I'm curious, OK?

That's dumb. (The feature. Not you). Twitter also doesn't add my favoriting my own tweet to the list of notifications I have. Whatever. It's dumb.

I thought you were well beyond curious, given your relationship with @accalia
-

I can't bend nearly well enough to sniff my own post.
Filed under: also, if you find yourself having two or more posts, consider seeing a doctor

Pretty sure you can do that. I agree that it seems pretty stupid, but it is Facebook.

indeed.

You've been able to like your own posts on Facebook for years, if not always.
-
I'd be interested in reading an argument on why you shouldn't be able to like your own content.
-
In situations where you can, like Facebook, it's seen as narcissistic and vain, and people tend to look down on newbies who do so. So maybe removing it is helping newbies not make mistakes like that and be shunned?
-
That strikes me as weak. I'd only see it as narcissistic if they liked all of their own content.
For example, Twitter has a feature called "Featured Tweet", which is (expected to me) the favorite tweet you've made recently which gets pinned to the top of your user page. Is using that feature vain? No. It's one tweet out of thousands.
-
people tend to look down on newbies who do so
Which is why it's kinda strange that when going through the tutorial (IIRC) Facebook prompts you to like your first status....
-
Yeah, I remember it before being "Favorite" before and it reminded me of how IE called (calls?) bookmarks, especially since you can get a list of that stuff. So it was a handy way to save a link to stuff from within twitter.

YOu've always been able to do that, as far as I know.

#FUCK YOU ALL AND YOUR CORRECT FACTS!

I've used twitter since 2009 and could always favorite or like my own tweets.

Although double extra fuck you to @rc4. There's not noticing when you've been ninja'd halfway up the thread. Then there's not noticing you've been ninja'd by the OP in five-hundred point font directly above your own post.
-
And triple-fuck you to @rc4 for picking a grey-dude avatar and confusing me when I read my own threads.

Well, your pic is clearly not looking straight-on, so it shouldn't be obvious it's not yours?

I noticed, but I expounded even further.

Unless it's clearly for comic effect, in which case it can sometimes be funny.

There are several reasons why not noticing you've been ninja'd by the OP in five-hundred point font directly above your own post is excusable. (Of course, they're all ™, according to @end.) One might not have read all the way to the end of the thread before posting (!!!). Or the users may both be typing their posts at the same time, and it's simply a matter of luck who ninja's whom. Or maybe you're just a crabby SOB looking for an excuse to complain about something. :P

That's forgivable, and is the very definition of . (Also, who put in
:hankey:
). But then after your post is up, you'd be at the end of the thread and would go "oops".Or the users may both be typing their posts at the same time, and it's simply a matter of luck who ninja's whom.
There's an 11 hour difference between my 500 point post, and his ninja'd. E_CLOSED

If you haven't disabled the "skip 500 unread posts, forever losing my ability to figure out what I've read and what I haven't, in order to show me again what I myself just typed" option.

Okay, but if you are doing the "I'll post now and keep reading", but you don't keep reading to the end of the thread, then that's an even bigger .
Also because you'll be forever haunted by a grey "unnew unread" posts indicator.

I have a few of those, because I lost interest in the topic, but didn't care enough to jump to the end just to make the circles go away.

I would have gone with projecting my chrono-centric worldview onto people who may observe alternate time-stream flows. But I won't fault you the effort, and the interrobang gets bonus points. 7.5/10.

Quite agreed, but only if the author is blakey. There is no one better than blakey, unless perhaps 2 blakeies.
