    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Noah Smith  🐇

    It’s been baffling to me, for a long time, that quote tweets are grouped with retweets, where they don’t belong, rather than with mentions, where they belong. Makes no sense, also makes it harder to fend off organized mobs.https://twitter.com/noahpinion/status/952342455134777345 …

    16/Sooner or later Twitter will tweak their interface to make this tactic less effective - for example, by letting you see a list of only quote-tweets, making it easy to find and block screamers. The Nazis will then think of a new tactic.

        It may because qoute tweets really shouldn't be used as replies.

        I always think of them as a retweet with comment.

        After reading this thread. I'd be almost certain that the soldiers are bots. The Screamer the bot-master. No doubt there is a piece of software which is being used here to run these efforts....

        I’ve always thought of them as RTs with comment, explaining why I’m throwing others’ thoughts into my timeline. Your point makes sense, too.

        TBF, quote tweets came about because so many people were manually retweeting w/ small added bits of information. Those really did feel like retweets. But, as always, use conventions have evolved, and Twitter hasn't updated platform structure to keep up.

        Remember the good old days of mIRC when the bots, screamers, trolls and undifferentiated bindlestiffs were just as bad as they are now but less organized?
