Recently I found out the harsh effect of this missing feature. I tweeted a quick video showing a defective product to a retailer. Several moments later I saw I had 50 notifications and it didn't stop.
I was the target for online bullying and abuse, notably because those people appear to be haters of the retailer. How effective this was is actually quite fascinating.
I had to go through each notification and block each account that interacted. I even deleted the original tweet, and those they picked on I previously sent.
This was a classic case of bullying, but I do feel the tools were definitely lacking to mute it.
- RileyKyeden 10y agoPeople don't realize how it looks on the receiving end. A person @ name searching you will only see tweets, then add on to the flood with "well it's only a few tweets, how is this harassment?". They don't see the flood of retweet/favorite notifications from those mentions. I had this happen not too long ago when a comedian misunderstood something I said and went on a very public rant at me: https://medium.com/@RileyKyeden/jen-kirkman-is-your-problematic-fave-807e7eefa668 https://medium.com/@RileyKyeden/jen-kirkman-is-your-problema... It was only a few tweets, but it produced hundreds of notifications from the original tweets, replies to quote retweets[1] (and favorite/retweet notifications on those), and replies from other famous people whose feeds are watched closely by fans.
