in case you forgot why you should stay off twitter

I nearly deleted Twitter, yesterday, after seeing all the GOP cheer Kid Rock shooting up beer to protest a Trans model -- nm - Flavorize Apr 5, 11:33 24
- It's taken me a while, but I'm finally liking Mastodon a lot more than twitter. - JaxSean Apr 5, 11:38 1
  - I have my mastodon set up to collapse/hide any tweets that mention trump, elon, or Twitter. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:54
- yeah I'm about 1 more "enough of this shit" away from doing that. I just try and avoid all the crap and follow less political stuff - Beaker Apr 5, 11:35 21
  - I am on twitter and I never see any of this unless ST shows me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 11:53
  - Turning off tweet embeds on SlackerTalk (a feature I added recently) has been helping me in this regard. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:50 19
    - ? .. how? -- nm - mud Apr 5, 11:59 18
      - How has it been helping, or how to enable it? - Beryllium Apr 5, 12:03 17
        
        I don't understand how it helps you ignore them. I also do my best to try posting only cool, interesting and relevant things. I'll just keep trying. -- nm - mud Apr 5, 12:07 16
        
        See Jovian's tweet up there? If I open it up, it doesn't pre-populate the tweet. I have to click the link if I want to see it. - Beryllium Apr 5, 12:08 15
        
        Yep, I'm happier not actually seeing tweets. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 5, 12:20 6
        
        Damn you all make it seem like I post nothing but filth from twitter. -- nm - Jovian Apr 5, 12:23 5
        
        You know what you did. - Spawn Apr 5, 12:25
        
        I'm sorry! I didn't mean to single you out. People are free to keep posting tweets. I just added a little tool for personal control, is all. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 12:24 3
        
        no I know! I responded below. This was more for Jax. As I am not sure what he or people in general think I post here. -- nm - Jovian Apr 5, 12:26 2
        
        It's not you, it's twatter! It's like baseball stuff - if I click on a post and see it's a link to twitter, I just ignore (for the most part). - JaxSean Apr 5, 12:36 1
        
        lolol okay cool! -- nm - Jovian Apr 5, 12:39
        
        oh, so with the feature enabled you can still click the link and it immediately loads the rest? that's pretty cool. (and I'm relieved) -- nm - mud Apr 5, 12:15 1
        
        Clicking the links takes you to twitter itself, and I'll only do that in an incognito window. Clicking to expand is an intriguing idea. - Beryllium Apr 5, 12:17
        
        hey! - Jovian Apr 5, 12:13
        
        You can't just block all Jovian's tweet links? -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 12:11
        
        (Regarding the harshness of the IM: this has nothing to do with jovian and everything do with i'm not sure who Filpowski is nor do I care to know) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 12:11 3
        
        I don't think I follow him but he regularly apppears in my feed, and passes my personal test of "I have not yet rolled my eyes at one of his tweets" -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 15:01 1
        
        I am probably confusing him for someone else -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 18:55
        
        Filipowski is a great follow. -- nm - mud Apr 5, 12:16
More filth thanks to the GOP -- nm - Jovian Apr 5, 11:18
