So, I got new twitter reply system on desktop... and it is a lot harder for me to mentally frame who I'm talking to as a conversation. :(

Used to be able to run m eye down the left side and grasp the context. But now I have to dart toward the top middle bit of light text :(

Going to take some time for me to adjust. If I don't reply it's because I'm having trouble re-creating the conversations in my head.

How do I @ reply to myself like before?This thread linked is now unusable to leave happy things to myself 😭https://t.co/1MbpiLKdIo

If you see this, reply w/ link something that makes you happy? When I wake up, I want to remix happy words instead of sad ones in my head.

Part of what made Twitter work for me was way this could be used to differentiate between audiences + intention:https://t.co/NYb3bw1N8p

With the new Twitter, How can I:1) @ reply to myself so it doesn't show up on the timeline normally2) .@ reply to someone else so it does?

Hey, at least brands will have a better time on-boarding to the platform and generate more advertising revenue short term. 🤔💩

If you're planning to follow over, be sure to read up on the Code of Conduct. Each federated server is like a fiefdom with it's own rules.

The reason https://t.co/P6KmLMB80J's area got popular is sort of a fluke. Looks like many people may be spinning up their own hosts soon.

I don't post anything that would risk going against terms, but I'll still be uneasy feeling until I can spin up my own node and self host.

I won't be happy until I can be certain I can pull out my social graph / meaning-making web & re-weave it somewhere else. Sovereign or Bust.

@AREdotNA Twitter is showing me tweets by people I'm not following. Your showing me other people's likes was bad enough. All the time I spent curating my feed to show me content is now useless.I'm now in 3 slacks, 2 discords, and 4 alt social networks.Can't jump ship fast enough.
