Poll: get rid of the Tweet (X?) Deck on the side of the main page

Get rid of it - yes/no?

 

What would help this forum, is if Nate stops bringing up Danny Marang as a credible Blazers source.

 

Never seen it

 

Twitter doesn't exist in my world...never used it, never pay much attention to it even when it tried to run the country from Trump's cell phone.

 

I like the "Like" button, but would love to see a "Totally Agree" button. Then the "Like" button becomes a response along the lines of you made good points. I have never used the "Reply" button. Replace it.

 

Don't care.

I like getting the instant news that Twitter provides, but at the same time I have hated it long before Musk bought it. Message boards are one thing, they can be fun. But comments from everyone on every topic from those on Twitter can all go away as far as I am concerned. I don't need to be reminded constantly how many idiots there are in the world.

 

A more important issue that deserves @Denny Crane 's immediate attention is making the website secure with a valid SSL so we can finally access it via https

 

Is this a pressing issue for some reason?

 

Now is probably the best time. Crickets with Blazers news and seems that may be the case for the next 2 months.

 

No, I enjoy the tweet feed. I pay attention to it and it has had valid information in the past.

I don’t let the politics of it affect me. I was using Twitter when Elon Musk was sucking on a binkie. Binky?.. You know what I mean.

 

Do you see tweets there anymore? For the last couple weeks it has been blank for me. It has just said "Nothing to see here"

 

There's nothing there. It's broken. It has been broken since Elon screwed with how many tweets people can view.

 

The hatred for Elon Musk is beyond me.

 

I'm not familiar enough to say, but hasn't it been on the side for like 2-3 years or longer? That's what I meant, why now?

 

That was done to prevent data mining and protect people actually from the results of that automated data mining. That's why even paid subs are capped. It's because that information was being used to create very sophisticated censorship algorithms.

 

Capping how many tweets people can view is hilariously stupid though. You're basically going back to the old days when you had to buy minutes on AOL. Why would you limit participation on a social media platform?

 

I don't hate the guy.... but it's pretty hilarious that he paid so much money for the brand and then immediately killed the brand.

 

Be careful. Anything other than "Trump bad" will get you unwanted attention. Same with "Musk bad, too".

 

I explained why. Data mining for censorship bots.

 

Killed the brand, you mean the “those in line with Davos WEF narratives can say anything and any dissent to that is censored” brand?

Also, this is pretty clearly a politically motivated thread (duh) and should be moved to OT forum IMO.
