Ricofoley Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Anybody here use Mastadon? I'm not sure if I'm actually gonna quit Twitter yet, but amongst people who say they're gonna, it seems like that's the consensus landing spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 ".. As part of the deal, Twitter will .. be on the hook for annual interest payments of more than $1 billion, compared with some $51 million in 2021." Brilliant strategy!

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 I will post the new D1P "rules of engagement" for Twitter in the next couple of days, but let's just say that the days of directly embedding tweets are numbered. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fine, because both of my Windows machines do a shitty job of actually displaying embedded tweets!

Also, lol at the notion that product leaders (I take it they mean tech leads and not actual product people) are going to be reviewing Twitter code - as if that's really ever been an issue at Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If Twitter is a net money loser wouldn't continuing to allow twitter on this here actually hurt Musk? I have mixed feeling about this. Not about Musk buying twitter, that part sucks... but allowing embedded tweets on here. Sometimes I feel like there is way to many tweets posted on here and it can be a very confusing format to follow. It often feels like twitter is just these little snippets of data that make almost no sense unless you know the whole backstory behind them. That's great when you know the backstory but sucks when you don't. I feel like 1/3 of the posts on this site are just embedded tweets.

MarSolo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I’ll admit I embed tweets frequently, but I at least try to add my two cents to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 As a rule of thumb I generally try to post the article a tweet is attached to rather than the tweet, sometimes the other way is easier (or faster) which is why I assume other people post the tweets.

I often go with tweets that link to articles over linking articles directly because the tweets will often call out a/the key takeaway from the article. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
