@jaloopa yeah, let's do that. That sounds like a fine piece of software, why aren't we using it??

Twitter Says What You Do Offline Could Cost You Your 'Verified' Blue Checkmark
What does the Verified checkmark even mean if it doesn't mean that the person who owns it is really who they say they are? Is it just Twitter's term used to describe their exclusive club?
-
@lb_ they are now completely screwed by their own rules. They have said in the past that verification check marks only mean that this is the person they say they are and it was not an endorsement. Now that they have started removing check marks from people they do not like they have made the check marks a de facto endorsement of that person's views.
This will end up being the "YouTube Heroes" of Twitter. A narc culture. Narc people out, gain status. Twitter built itself on being for free speech. Now they turn their back on that and they will end up like tumblr. Nothing but an echo chamber of weirdos and the Far-Left. Well, and porn. Lots of porn. Probably. Everyone loves porn.
-
@lb_ They originally CLAIMED it was what you'd imagine-- that they just verified the person's identity so they are posting as themselves. But then in disputes, they started always siding with the checkmark and never the non-checkmark. Then they started randomly denying the checkmark to people based on some arbitrary "not significant enough" rule that wasn't documented anywhere. Then they got surprised when people were criticizing them for giving Nazis with like 3 followers checkmarks where genuine celebs with thousands of followers were denied for no reason.

The problem is, they were lying.

They should just get rid of the entire concept. Twitter was fine before the checkmark was added.

@boner Get a better internet.
Says the one who complains how slow the forum is....
-
@tsaukpaetra So? The forum's slow. I have this problem with literally zero other websites, except completely shit ones that are slow even on good internet.
-
@pie_flavor said in Nobody running Twitter uses Twitter:
literally zero
Then immediately provides an exception...
Goood... Gooooooodddd.....
-
@tsaukpaetra Sue me. The point, and validity thereof, is unaffected by your .

@pie_flavor said in Nobody running Twitter uses Twitter:
The point
What point? Your anecdotal claims?
-
@tsaukpaetra Sure.
-
@pie_flavor said in Nobody running Twitter uses Twitter:
@tsaukpaetra Sure.
.... So..... What is your point?
You know, nobody's forcing you to post here.
-
@tsaukpaetra My point? You're the one who brought it up, with the insinuation that it invalidated things I say about shitty internet being the problem, to which I responded with the reasoning why it had nothing to do with my internet speed and thus invalidated nothing of the sort.
Basically, my point is that you're wrong.
-
@pie_flavor said in Nobody running Twitter uses Twitter:

reasoninganecdote why it had nothing to do with my internet speed and thus invalidated nothing of the sort.My internet literally forgets it exists regularly yet I don't have the problems you claim are prevalent. My reasoning thus invalidates your claim by your own logic.
-
@tsaukpaetra And yet, even if it remains confined to me only, none of that invalidates what I was saying about speed being irrelevant. So your original argument is fully invalid, though you're welcome to continue this new one you seem to be formulating.

@blakeyrat said in Nobody running Twitter uses Twitter:
@polygeekery I didn't deny that. But I also find it extremely difficult to believe that Neo-Nazi Guy has never broken anything in Twitter's TOS.
Selective enforcement is worse than no enforcement in some ways. For example, when a fucking NAZI stays on the service and a comedian does not.
And "he's a (insert name of group we don't like), he *must* have done something wrong... find a violation and make it stick!" enforcement is the worst.

You probably have an adblocker that's blocking "nuisance" social platform integration.

Oh, my apologies, I thought by 'it' you meant 'NodeBB being slow'. If by 'it' you mean your argument, then it's more along the lines of 'it works for me, therefore your claims are stupid'. Similarly logically incomprehensible, but them's the breaks of dealing with NodeBB apologists.

Right, I was parroting your argument as an example of why that's stupid. Are you paying attention?

Well, be sure to let me know when you do. I like people more when they're not uselessly spouting zealot propaganda at every possible moment.

@tsaukpaetra Propaganda such as 'Discourse is bad'?

Sure. Keep that in the Discopocalypse thread, if you would.
But for you, you can store your "NodeBB is shit" comments in one of these:
Is NodeBB less 💩 than 💿 🐎 or have we just shut up?
Or, more appropriately:

This cunt is verified:

They made their checkmark a mark of endorsement, now they are endorsing this cunt. They made their bed, they can lie in it.

<serious> The site is pretty fast (especially if you tune your page chunk size to be a bit larger, which appears to help with longer topics) but the loading of embedded media is frequently atrocious. It might get better with a different loading strategy but that risks the jellypotato even more… </serious>

@polygeekery she seems to be split between fairly standard feminist bullshit and satanism. What in particular makes her worthy of calling out specifically?

Go a little farther and you will get to where she says all males should be murdered.

So she's met both you and Lorne?

@dkf he did travel through my area on his road trip. I have no idea where she lives though. ;)

Careful, guys, this is becoming garage material.

@pie_flavor meh, I don't even think that non-garage denizens would have a problem with saying that anyone who calls for genocide is a shithead.

"I hate X" is not the same as "I am requesting that you commit genocide against X".

@ben_lubar she deleted the one where she said that everyone with a penis should be murdered. Kind of hard to link to it when it is deleted.

@pie_flavor I recognize our experience is not your experience. Please recognize your experience is not our experience. Even Sam Saffron, Discourse employee #2, was shocked and embarrassed at how bad our site's performance was, as seen here.
