Folks, I know there are some work arounds. What I can never grasp is how tech people think the answer to everything evil is work arounds instead of confronting the nature of the company and explaining the cost, as if it's impossible. There's a greek drama metaphor on here.
Ok I'll bite. David Simon always talked about challenging modern institutions in terms of greek drama. You're fucked if you try to challenge the fates, etc. Those who go up against and rail on modern institutions are often swallowed by them. Is this an invitation to cynicism? No.
Because to accept the system as flawed, pass the buck, make little changes that just make it better for yourself? In other words, work around it? All those things just treat the symptom and ignore the cause, thus casting them into the same perpetual hell.
So when faced with the lose-lose that is going up against the fates? Rail. Rail right away. Because in railing you shine a light on the simple injustice of irrevocable truths, whether it be genuine world hardship or a dumb website making short-sighted decisions.
So yes. I'll say it again. This is a fundamentally broken website. And that deserves scorn.
The only way for me to make Twitter even remotely usable is Tweetdeck. Putting together lists and focusing on them and the content I want to see.
add these to your muted words and it gets rid of “<person> liked” and “in case you missed it”.pic.twitter.com/ouShU1Xd9S
Try using a third party client, like @tweetbot if you have a Mac or an iPhone.
Yup, I second this! It really doesn’t solve the bigger problem here, but it’s better than the alternative.
