I find Twitter teaching me to stand my ground in terms of my boundaries and what I enjoy. If I talk to somebody and they start insulting me, I mute. I mute people who insult others too. Difference between physical public space is that if so

I tried Twitter many times but always stopped using it after reading a lot of upsetting materials. Like you follow favorite musician and beside music announcements, there are political rants. I returned to Twitter when I learned to use Mute

I don't want another huge social network. I'd have a number of smaller autonomous ones.

IMO being informed is about your own research. Either making sure you follow trustworthy people and/or checking their sources. Wondering if the account is real or fake? Check the person's website, wikipedia page, look if there are

Personal info harvesting is at the core of most ad based businesses. Like Google of FB. I’d help people sell things. Like be a platform to sell books, nudes, news etc.

Verified accounts means it’s somebody well known outside of Twitter. So it’s beneficial to Twitter to have them. I see today’s Twitter as a chat app where popular people promote their content to less popular. Maybe it would make sense to he

Maybe something funded by public, yes. I think there is a need for smaller existing community-based social networks. They can be paid for by certain people or crowdfunded once in a while like Wikipedia.

I wouldn't pay for each video I watch now, but I could probably watch less. It's like eating junk food now: you can eat nonstop but it doesn't nourish.

Yes. I feel that "liking" is a consumerist approach to conversation. Buy/no buy, swipe left/right. It's more nuanced in real world. We don't always agree or disagree with people, sometimes we just listen and ex

I wasn't talking about Twitter specifically. Ads are a dominating revenue model: Youtube, Instagram, Facebook etc. I had an idea of people using crypto payments instead of likes. A platform would take a cut.

I hope ads will die some day. To me they are just annoying and very rarely informative.

Serious question: what is the benefit for a journalist to work for a news org vs working solo?

I like the top bar and the neat bottom one. But I prefer having more space on the screen. I have an AutoHotkey script to show task bar only on key press so it's not toggle by accident. Then it's always fullscreen-like experience.

I believe that deep and interesting conversations need to have stakes. In your example with VCs, stakes would be trying to figure out where the market is going or trying to strike a deal. Latter also works for rich people. In context of mod

Can you elaborate how your business was crushed by iOS14?

No. I use merriam-webster.com (!mw on duckduckgo) and I'm content.

I don’t understand. If you don’t want to see what someone says, you can mute or block them. What do you mean by conversation still happens?

It’s easy to mute accounts you don’t want to see on Twitter, even ones shown as ads.

I think, it implies that following an ideal (light) is futile, only seeing what is (darkness) works. The most popular religion in the world is based on fall from grace, original sin that we must attone for to become pure again. Alternative

Amazing, thank you. That’s 90% what I’m looking for. One thing though: it saves previous text in separate “files”, could I turn this off?

I tried Thinktype on my iPhone — added a shortcut to homescreen. 1) I need to tap screen to start writing 2) I need to save what I wrote — can autosave happen in a browser app? 2*) Save button moved off screen to the right 3) I think new t

I'm looking for a quick notepad, so that time between having an idea and writing it down is minimal, like using a camera on a smartphone. App is a must, because I have a phone nearby most of the time. In terms of UI, I don't want

It’s probably because your friends chose to sync contacts and your phone was number was there.
