The reporting is onerous but results are haphazard. Similar language is sometimes allowed sometimes not. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. Twitter's remedy of "locking" a past tweet—already in my mentions—is of ZERO value to the person facing the barrage and ZERO deterrence to the harraser.

So, days later still going on. Pondering stopping using Twitter for anything substantive unless I get control over whether third-parties can "embed" or quote my tweets—out-of-context embed & quote makes it too easy for too many people to make stupid comments in my mentions.

Maybe they'll screenshot, etc. I know. Whatever. That adds friction—someone has to find the tweet or type my name and then write something. Greatly decreases the fly-by idiot comments. Pointless to report—no deterrence, just work for me. Mute/block pointless: it's fly-by idiocy.

I could ignore it—most of it is the zillionth iteration the same stupid comment. But, no, I want control over whether news outlets or anyone can embed my tweets and I want control over whether a tweet in a thread—it's a thread for a reason—can be quote-tweeted in isolation.
@jackShow this thread -
Yes. I may do that. I actually like the messy/opennes of Twitter. I don't mind disagreement and can totally ignore the occasional idiocy or insult. But there needs to be controls to add friction to the *volume* of idiocy/insult. Problem is scale/volume.https://twitter.com/JuanIsidro/status/1042401273105014794 …

At a minimum, someone wants to quote a tweet embedded within a thread? Force the outlet/website to embed or quote the *whole* thread. That should discourage the fly-by idiocy and out-of-context quoting. Either that, or Twitter should just disable threads so we get it: no control.

Internet posting has internal competition. I discovered an app where I can create a photo postcard while on vacation overseas, write it, then have it mailed for me domestically. That’s more personal than Facebook. My hope is that other services emerge, undoing Facebook’s hold.

It does wonders to spellcheck to write in multiple languages.
