Twitter

I began my journey on Social Media on MySpace and now I’m on several different platforms. I spend about equal amount of time between Facebook and Twitter. I use FB for local and National issues and politics as well as communicating with friends. Twitter for me is used almost explicitly for expressing my views and opinions about political issues, including local, state and federal matters. Social Media can provide excellent platforms for education, news gathering, entertainment and communication but too often censorship is interfering with free speech which will in time render these useless to the populace. At one time Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. were all ideas that became realities. Now ideas for new ways to communicate are being explored and coming into fruition with the promise of free expression. If Twitter and Facebook want to stay competitive and remain leaders in this industry my humble opinion is to return to the policies that made your platforms great.

So for about 2 months “WHO’S BEEN VISITING YOUR PAGE?” ads ran under my account & I tweeted probably 20x at Twitter at Jack at Twitter Help or whatever it’s called & you guys completely and totally ignored me. I explained these were not my tweets & that my account was compromised & you never responded or acknowledged my messages or the problem. Very disappointed at how during this time you allow Trump to tweet that he won the election w/o outright calling that false.... This may be an unverified claim? LOL. That is highly suspect & seems to also entertain the notion that Trump could be right when he is knee deep in gaslighting and propaganda tweeting is very dangerous. Also, since the stupid fleet function was added, videos won’t play & many pictures do not fully upload & I even updated the app yesterday & it did not help the problem. The feeling is that you don’t care how Twitter or if Twitter works properly for regular ppl & that feeling is based on Twitter being unresponsive to my technical issues & that Twitter doesn’t do all that it can to make sure it functions properly & worst of all, you let ppl compromise the accounts of others & don’t really care & that you happily spread dangerous misinformation of the Nazi variety & it makes me feel bad that I rely so much on the app & the app is completely unresponsive to me whether it be being hacked, videos and pics I can’t access, or as a dangerous propaganda tool.

Twitter has instantly become an instrument for restoring American’s constitutional rights. Freedom of speech. I admit and respect Elon Musk for doing the right thing. I am a Vietnam vet. I volunteered for the war when I was 17 years old. I had to get a parent’s signature because I was too young to volunteer on my own. I love my country. I never thought the day would come when we would lose our constitutional rights. Today we are facing unconstitutional vaccine mandates, vaccines passports, being fed lies constantly by the media and our government officials. We are in serious danger of losing our country to the globalist, Marxist, billionaires who are controlling practically every aspect of our lives. In many ways, we have already lost our country. If it wasn’t for patriots like Elon Musk and President Trump I don’t think we would have much of chance to take our country back. Thank you Mr Musk! May God bless you and your family. God Bless American! Sincerely, Russell Hickenbottom

My name is Monique. Half Mexican/white. Grew up living in a trailer, little parental supervision. Drugs, truancy, irresponsible, etc. I could have easily been a piece of crap adult, patent and citizen but I choose to do better. Joined the Navy at 19, started going to church at about 28. I’m a wife, mom, retired US Navy, conservative, and a Christian. I have traveled the world and our freedom should t be earned. It’s been hi en to us and we have the blessing of living in a country that we can make choices as I did as a young punk. Our choices change minds, empower people, support others. We can be giving, gracious and loving. We also have the freedom to be what ever we want. This social media platform has a choice. Be a free speech platform or not. I joined twitter just a week ago. Please let’s be better. I don’t agree with many views but I do believe that the majority of people are for the same things (freedom, love, peace). We all can do better. Twitter, you can do better.

This APP does Twitter nicely! I like the options for Twitter Spaces, which I use regularly. I do wish we could customize the font color, but it's more of a personal liking an isn't really important or necessary for proper usage. The APP does crash every so often, but no more than it did when I was using the web version! However it restores itself immediately after any crashes and I'm able to jump right back to where I left off without losing my place. Overall, I'm satisfied with this APP!

I’ll never have understood Twitter. For some inexplicable reason they have stopped me from following people. And it looks like some people get many many thousands of followers and follows.... it doesn’t have any rhyme nor reason… It must have something to do with algorithms that make them more money because this is all about power and money all of the social media. And I think social media is destroying our country. It’s caused fake news and problems with our Democracy. They let people blatantly lie. Then again Trump gets away with anything… Even corroding our democracy. Twitter doesn’t seem to have the decency or the integrity to do anything about that. So I guess only the rich and powerful get to have followers? I think we need more regulatory control over all of the tech companies in social media and more controls. These companies are eroding our democracy. They allow disinformation and Russian propaganda to flourish.

Enjoying the intellect It’s refreshing to text with so many diverse and knowledgeable people. My only regret is I’m not remembering enough of my French classes and that I did not try Twitter sooner. I prefer it I wonder how I didn’t realize that I didn’t need the other social media. Dare I say that except for my earlier texts I have to state that I find it interesting and not at all unintelligent. Thank You for the opportunity to both rate and review it. I’m honestly quite surprised at the intellect and deeply enjoy the human discourse thoroughly and with that said let us continue to come together to express our concerns and meet the challenges we face daily head on as mature and vastly different as our cultures will hopefully not that far in the near future be more attuned to one another’s lifestyles and concerns for our fellow man and our planet. Thank You

A quick review Twitter is an excellent place to exchange views, understand each other’s view, and develop tolerance. It also helps you in critical thinking though it limits your words. But you can always no your posts. You have an access to those person whom you can never met though you are not sure that they have even read the post or returned through their staff hired for this purpose. Twitter gives you a quick access to daily news and what is happening in the world. It has bring the world together. The problems met 1. Hate speeches by people. 2. False propaganda against individuals and countries. 3. Fake accounts. 4. Hacking of accounts though it never happened with me. 5. Offensive posts against religion and on sex, though there is a mechanism to check it. 6. If you put posts many times because the issue is near to your heart then the Twitter start seeing you as a robot. 7. Do not know how to increase the following. Tried but could not. 8. From where we can resolve issues. There should be a support system where we can directly place our problems. 9. Vulgar and abusive language. 10. It can devastate lives of people, can be used to influence governments, regime change, disinformation, spy operations, propaganda against individuals and countries, create anarchy. 11. Can even make you a star.

I like going on news sights, and commenting about what I just read. And reading the other people’s comments about that same piece. Plus, comments can be left with the other participants on the app. There are sometimes mean people, who just because they don’t agree with you. They try to make you feel less then human. It is those types of people, that I try to avoid. I like Twitter, except for one major issue. I do not like the short reply’s that you are allowed to write. On my mane news sight, the maximum amount of characters is about two hundred. I believe that Twitter’s maximum amount of characters, is fifty or seventy five. What ever it is, I find myself often seeing my words turn pink, much too quickly. So, I will have to go back, and reread my post. And eliminate words or full sentences, that can be taken out, without altering the idea that I am trying to make. That, is the one thing about this platform, that I totally dislike. If they allowed maybe fifty more characters, at least. That would make a big difference, in the type, and the quality of the posts that I write on this platform. As I am a detailed writer, this low character limit on here, completely alters the quality of my reply’s, and my posts.

I'm having an issue where I don't get notified I have a reply on multiple occasions. Not the push notifications, like the actual section in the app where you can view all the notifications. I would have to go to the last reply and scroll down just to see they have replied and I was never notified. This issue has occurred probably a month or so now and I know a few others who are having the same issue.

Twitter was great to use for a while, but, this update has made it pretty bad to use. The scrolling is laggy, logging in takes a minute to load, home screen also takes a minute or two to load, and if I try to exit out of the quote retweets the app freezes up and I have to stop the app. Even when I try to send out a tweet, the app freezes. I already tried upgrading the app, deleting and downloading, even deleting the storage and cache. Nothing seemed to fix the issue.

As a millennial having been born in the early 80’s I have the viewpoint from a world originally without the broad connection of the internet. To see the world become so connected and so much smaller and more convenient is like watching the planet mature right in front of my eyes; It’s breathtaking. Apps like Twitter give everyone a podium to design as your own with which to stand upon and as followers increase your crowd becomes larger, but your also part of others crowd. Anything important to you, anything that drives your life and fuels your heart, can be shared or supported from your couch. This positive greatly outweighs most negatives which are usually the fault of the human condition. We all have to let each other have a podium even if we disagree and that is a challenge, but good too, because otherwise you wouldn’t even know who to disagree with. My only real personal issue other than the nastiness of some due to human condition is the fact that it’s hard to hit that like button when I don’t necessarily agree with the tweet. I am still missing those reaction buttons from Facebook letting anyone know whether I am happy or sad or angry about the information I am subjected to and a similar format would be great. Still those small issues don’t outweigh the connection and platform for me and I would love to see the whole world of people so close. Thank you!
