      On a minor note, my web Twitter is now stuck on mobile display (no, I'm not using https://m.twitter.com ). I logged out, turned computer off, etc. No avail. Is it just me? Anyone know how to make sure it uses desktop interface? 😬

          Also, @Twitter's new list UI on mobile has lost one of my most used lists. It just doesn't appear on the mobile site. It exists on desktop. So, what I thought was a bug on desktop is "new" "design" 🤮and the new mobile UI is all buggy. Anyone who works there use the product? 🙅‍♀️

          Okay, so this works *for now* to get the old user interface back on desktop. This is not a quick judgment; I've been struggling with the "new" UI for a week, thinking it was a bug. It had to be a bug! This is not a desktop design. It's HORRIBLE. WTF??https://winaero.com/blog/disable-twitters-new-interface-and-restore-old-design-back/ …

          Eeek, it reverts back to the terrible UI if you reload. My eyes, ouch. Very hard UI to use on desktop. A desktop is a desktop for a reason. PLUS it reverts to "top tweets" AAAAARGH. @Twitter wastes time to make the site worse when there is so much to actually improve. AAARGH.

          I hope this terrible, terrible new UI by @Twitter goes the way of snapchat's redesign. I've seen bad UI updates in my decades of computer use but this is one of the worst. I really really really thought it was a bug. Couldn't comprehend that it was intentional.

          This is unusable. @Twitter shouldn't run @Twitter. I tried escaping to Tweetdeck but now I don't see how I can use emojis there. I am trying to remember a worst redesign (I have seen many mediocre ones) and failing.

          Among other unusable things, I can no longer have an instapaper button? Bookmarks used to only work on mobile, but now it's on desktop but add tweet to moments has disappeared? The amount of bugginess of Twitter has always been amazing and needed fixing. So they introduced more.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Vordio

          For example, there's no easy way to add a quote tweet (like I am about to do) to a thread. Anyone who uses Twitter regularly likely encounters this. We copy link to tweet, delete after question mark, blah blah. Twitter designers don't use Twitter part 897.https://twitter.com/Vordio/status/1153314441087332353 …

          Some of the useful custom mutes also now don't work. I used to be able to get rid of seeing people's favourites. Now they are back in my timeline.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Andy Boyan (boyan.eth)

          I've noticed this over the years. Twitter people tend not to use it much. I've seen people high up in Twitter leave Twitter and ... they go silent on Twitter. They were never core Twitter users, did some tweeting while employed and very little afterwards.https://twitter.com/andyboyan/status/1153394264971317248 …

          If you go find and follow a lot of Twitter's Product Owners and designers, many post what appears to be a company requirement of tweets per week. Almost always about pets or food or travel. Infrequently interacting with real conversations.

          For example, direct message notifications are a total mess. Does it include "other" or only followed accounts? Depends if on mobile or not. Who the heck wants notifications for "other" accounts? No way to separate. Any actual frequent user would realize this. Not the design team.

          Again, most everything that the core, heavy users that produce much of the content for the site are screwed up in new UI. Twitter designers are not natural or core Twitter users. It may work fine if you don't actually use the site much except to read. 🤷‍♀️https://twitter.com/FBananapants/status/1153396694702338051 …
