I may be swimming in the opposite direction, but I like to see that go. I left Twitter (well, abandoned my account) years ago, tired of the excessive noise and progressive loss of relevance to me. Seeing tweets on the FB feed always makes the author seem lazy and desperate to have a presence in every social media site, just because.
I know that the change won't stop all of that but will certainly reduce it. FB isn't exactly a noiseless feed but I sort of have to put up with it given family and friends.
- ghaff 8y agoI mostly agree. I use different social media for mostly different purposes and I'm not a huge fan of indiscriminately spewing every thought and post across every connected network. I cross-post some things when I think it makes sense to do so but it's a small percentage of the total.
- Jare 8y ago> seem lazy and desperate [...] every social media Wow that's quite the overreach. I mean, if not wanting to do the same thing twice means being lazy, and wanting to reach people who are in one media but not the other means being desperate, then... I'm totally guilty! But I don't really agree with either premise.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoYup. Not only that, but this is basically missing the whole point of computing, which is for humans to not do the stuff computers are better at.
- amerkhalid 8y agoI had my blog auto post to facebook when I was using WordPress it was convenient but quickly realized it was annoying for others. Now I manually share on personal profile if I think my friends would enjoy it. Glad to see it go away. Personally, I was getting tired of others’ auto posts too.
