Devine Lu Linvega's posts Post Back to profile

When I veto applicants to the webring I often end up having to check the author's twitter profile, and fuuuuck that site, I'm glad almost everyone I know left that place. Each time I end up on there I feel like Twitter takes a big shit in my head.

@neauoire I feel like I keep a lot of accounts not because of the "content" in the feed/timeline, but because some people get weirdly locked into their DM feature. Like I never scroll twitter, or instagram, but keep running into situations where that's the main way to contact someone.

I end up just using nitter, but even then, that doesn't change the content of the posts...

@neauoire it's hard to break from the 'potential reach' but the quality spiral has been so fast it's not worth it and inevitably will be tumbleweeds rolling between bot armies arguing.

I am starting to think that that there's a disconnect between what I see and what others see on twitter.

For me it's: cool art, memes and a sprinkle of poetry.

Can't tell if my internal filter blocks all of the negative posts out or if the platform actually provides the content that I enjoy.
