Yes, it\u2019s a painful reminder of the reality of the election, but that\u2019s not what I mean here. It\u2019s just painful to use because it seems like every single tweet is about one thing: Trump.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m personally (without action) at war with the mainstream web. Twitter (like Facebook) is ruined for educated, fair and informed people. The Twitter Hater stories we heard about earlier this year and Facebook fake news stories and Reddit\u2019s alt-right invasion that nearly caused the site to implode on itself is all a result of everyone\u2019s mom, brother, grandpa and uncle now being on the Internet. Smatphones &amp; Apps have brought our geeky social networks into the mainstream and the mainstream has a lot of problems. When you put everyone int he same room, the uneducated loud-mouths are going to ruin it for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, I\u2019m so happy I have this blog and my RSS feeds where I can read authors I love w\/o any comments, ads, fluff, fake news or re-tweets. It\u2019s the purest form of Internet consumption. If you\u2019re on a social network with 100 million users, it will continue to be ruined.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a war against people I disagree with. It\u2019s a war against the mainstream. The same people who click on pop-up ads are now being retweeted into your stream and they shouldn\u2019t be using the Internet or should be in their own special website until they prove to everyone that they can use the web responsibly and with respect for others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via ParisLemon: I don\u2019t know about you, but for me, using Twitter the past couple weeks has been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-01-03T13:11:06Z","apple_news_api_id":"eab9abbe-c005-44c9-a316-bcc32e86be29","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-01-03T13:11:06Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A6rmrvsAFRMmjFrzDLoa-KQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Hh","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6806,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/05\/04\/linked-twitter-live-and-luck\/","url_meta":{"origin":6527,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Twitter, Live, and Luck&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"May 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Stratchery: The shareholder letter above is an example of exactly what I mean; Twitter is still selling the exact same value the service offered back in 2006 \u2014 \u201clive commentary, live connections, live conversations\u201d \u2014 and the only product ideas are to do what old media like television does,\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Linked&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":7548,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/08\/22\/linked-jack-dorsey-on-deleting-tweets-banning-trump-and-whether-an-unbiased-twitter-can-exist\/","url_meta":{"origin":6527,"position":1},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Jack Dorsey On Deleting Tweets, Banning Trump, And Whether An Unbiased Twitter Can Exist&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"August 22, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Jack Dorsey On Deleting Tweets, Banning Trump, And Whether An Unbiased Twitter Can Exist: I think we\u2019re going to look back on Twitter in a positive way.
