what the fuck. why does the @ fuck up finding this tweet and not others, now i'm extra curious about the mechanism behind this hateful phenomenon
I am sorry if our search syntax is confusing, but it's been like this for years:
- from:USER finds tweets from that user;
- @user finds tweets mentioning that user;
https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Actzn5%20popcorn%20is%20indicated&src=typd …
ah so my old habit has been partially broken ever since replies were changed to no longer include handles in the tweet body, i guess?
they are just hidden, I think you can still find them. Also, you can use "to:user" to find all replies to you: https://twitter.com/search?q=to%3Actzn5&src=typd …; you can also find tweets mentioning you but not really replies: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40ctzn5%20-filter%3Areplies&src=typd …
"to:" may also find tweets from you, this finds replies to you but not from you: https://twitter.com/search?q=to%3Actzn5%20-from%3Actzn5&src=typd … It's complex, but it all boils down to from:, to:, filter:, and you can use "-" in front any of them to negate.
very kind of you to be this useful seeing as i was quite uncharitable about a generalized group of people that included you, thank you :)
