Oh, the ratio
The whole “competition” on social networking is why the internet sucks
As someone who has never used twitter what di you mean?
To be “ratio’d” or to note a ratio in regards to Twitter means that the reply received more likes/retweets than the original or higher up tweet.
To add to that. The reason this is noted is that Twitter only has upvotes and no downvotes. So, something could have hundreds of likes, which looks good, but when compared to a reply against it with thousands you can see the meassure of public disagreement.
I thought that meant that a comment got more replies than likes
This. To my understanding, "ratio" has always been replies and QRTs vs likes and RTs. The madder people are, the more they want to say.
I definitely see more people ratioed by my definition than the other; when a ton of replies happen, it's harder for a single one to get enough traction to overtake the OP, but you can still see that everyone is mad.
there are many ratios to be considered
I never fully got it as a twitter user, but it has something to do with the ratio of likes I believe. The one person has hundreds where the other has 10s of thousands.
And they always respond with something like “I only bought it because I had money to waste”. Bullshit, you wanted the attention.
As someone who literally shits gold, not even I pay for twitter! (It's a real condition I swear)
Call your doctor, here is his phone number: 555-1234Honytawk
I will answer wearing a moustache.
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.
Unless you eat that much gold, you either have a supernova in your stomach or are violating the laws of thermodynamics
You're not a thermodynamics cop are ya?
Shit on me daddy
I just uninstalled twitter.
Really happy that I made the move to Bluesky. Really gives me a similar vibe to when I switched from reddit to lemmy. Everything's smaller, people are nice, not a lot of drama.. at least for now. We'll see how things change when the beta ends and more people start coming there.
I got my invite code yesterday. There’s a LOT of furries and not a lot of stuff I’m interested in.
Haha yeah, the furries seem to love it for some reason. I don't know about other countries, but it feels like at least the core of my German bubble collectively moved there over the last couple of weeks. If you're looking for specific topics, celebrities or experts, it will definitely take a lot of time to build a new network that can compete with Twitter. Had high hopes in Mastodon for a while, everyone who was fed up with Elon moved there for like two weeks, and then it all fell apart.
Tbh I wasn’t ever really a proper user myself, but I’m a big tennis fan and there’s so much tennis info that is only posted to Twitter that it’s hard to stop using it entirely. I’ve never just browsed it for fun/out of boredom though so at least I don’t tend to come across the nastier side of Twitter. Small mercies!

I keep Twitter installed because Musk will sell it eventually. Though I was never a fan. But Twitter helpful when there are sirens nearby.
I don't know if he'll find anyone gullible enough to buy it. At least not until after bankruptcy. Who would buy that company that doesn't make a profit and has that much debt? Only an idiot like Musk would do that.
At a significant discount it can be appealing just for the amount of user data and reach. Someone bought yahoo then sold it to another one. Not good example of success but example of looking at the price and saying what the heck I'll take the risk.
Even with a significant discount you would be taking on $1b just in interest a year for a company that doesn't make money. You somehow have to make $1b just to break even.
If I could buy Twitter I bet I could do a better job than its current owner. Best I can do is a quarter and some pocket lint, and I'm really taking a gamble here.
Most can.
Even my dead grandmother would, since not bothering users would be an improvement.

There’s nothing wrong with using Twitter as a tool to keep yourself safe, heck it’s owner is a tool albeit not a useful one but a tool nonetheless.
I haven't updated the Twitter app on my Android since the icon change, and I refuse to let it update. Still works fine.
I learned something new today! I didn't know you could change apps on Android and now I feel a bit silly.
This is shortcuts on iOS, it has a few limitations like no notification badges
“no notification badges”
hell that’s a feature!
For what it’s worth, you can turn that off for any app without going through the hassle of setting up a shortcut. It’s in the Notification settings for each app.
oh I know, it takes forever to go through and disable all except the few you actually want to bother you at any time. I would prefer to opt-in to the ones I use instead of the other way around.
No notifications, and a banner popover when you run it, which some people will find annoying
It’s an easy way to get started with your first shortcut though!

Lots of Android launchers let you freely customize icons
And names, I always rename those "My Company" apps to just "Company" so I can find them back in the list. That "My ..." stuff is so annoying.
Sweet idea, I can't believe I've never thought of it before!
My Cabages!
Don’t feel silly!
Is this loss?
