Quick hn poll has _anyone_ seen anyone else talk about “Twitter rewrites any URLs”, Facebook, google or Hyperlink auditing?
- default feed display: was designed to give you their message - twitter: “it’s what we say is happening”
- engagement base timeline - again we only allow those that have passed our filters and tests to show you most content - another “it’s what we say is happening” tweak.
- defaults to switch all behaviors: and then planned re-defaults to get 80 of the 20 that switch back each time
WHY YOU SHOULD QUIT TWITTER NOV 4
MORE THAN ANYTHING: there’s a mouth breathing ugly person at twitter making these decisions and _they actually think you’re too stupid to realize all these changes gives them editorial control_
They think you’re too stupid, they think they’re done genius that got away with it, that you can’t put 2 and 2 together
They’re gloating right now - laughing at you
2 + 2 = 4
break free, don’t give your time to be told someone else’s version of what’s happening, your time is too valuable
Also everyone should read pride and prejudice because it’s funny as hell
