I hate the “read” function more in different messaging services. And when they show when you and others are online.
Personally, I don’t care for any of that shit, but in the past I have had people letting me know that they knew I was online and they knew I had read their message and why hadn’t I replied to them yet, hmm???
That shit can fuck all the way off. I need to be in the right headspace to reply to messages. It would be a full time fucking job if I had to sit and reply to people all day when they wanted me to. I don’t expect people to reply to me immediately either. I know people have lives that take up their time. I’m not their first priority and I don’t kid myself into thinking I’m entitled to be.
Would appreciate the same respect in return.
Twitter. Have hated it since it launched and stayed the fuck away from using it until I had a teacher who demanded I make a Twitter profile for a specific workshop. I still regret all these years later that I caved and did as she said. I should have just kept telling her no. Other than that, I have stayed away from that platform and when Felon Muskrat bought it I had no opinions on it because at the time I just saw him as a goofy edge lord and why wouldn’t he want to buy the goofiest platform on the internet?
But well, at least he has made most of the rest of the world realize how terrible Twitter is as a social media platform. It always was and it always will be. Fuck that place. I genuinely hope he runs it into the ground completely and that it dies.
Too bad new alternatives have sprung up in the meantime.
I still think it is utterly embarrassing that politicians around the world use these types of crappy as fuck platforms to communicate with the public. I cannot take any of them seriously. It is pathetic and embarrassing.
