>The experience of having made a viral tweet is The Worst Fucking Thing.
If you make a "viral tweet", don't read the replies. You have the tools to do so, since Twitter allows you to mute a thread.
- laughinghan 7y agoMost people use social media not with the intention of shouting into the void, but with the intention of getting replies that they want to read, that they then do read, and perhaps reply in turn. If that's what usually happens, but sometimes randomly they get tons and tons of replies that they don't want (as claimed by this post), that's an interesting and noteworthy flaw that I've never seen specifically discussed.
- acjohnson55 7y agoEven if you like the replies, it's overwhelming.
- whenchamenia 7y agoIm not sure I agree with your rather chatitable interpretation of most twitter users. Most seem firmly in the void shouting camp to me.
- nyuszika7h 7y agoYou can also mute notifications from people who don't follow you / who you don't follow, though it may not be desirable to keep it like that all the time.
