the banal insanity of blue check twitter

I saw a post the other day that half the replies were the same two accounts replying to and OP with probably 10 vaguely appropriate messages each

and not even as a continuous thread going back and forth, they were wholly different posts with no likes or replies

That's abused partner behavior. He needs to escape.

It's wild how much the connotation of "blue check" has changed on Twitter

Bluesky is pro Isreal pls don't support it 🇵🇸❤️

If i had a drink for everytime i liked a seemingly innocuous meme someone posted on my fyp who on second glance had a sus pfp/username and upon clicking their profile found it to be full of weird cryptofash/outright fascist shit, I would have died of alcohol poisoning ages ago.

hey oblivious american. there's a whole world of countries out there. for better or worse english has become the international language. when you see someone talking in english don't assume that they're a native speaker

Why are you surprised by this? It's almost 2025, this has been going on for so long now. Is this... is this a ragebait video?

This is what happens when you give people the option to buy a checkmark that boosts your posts in the algorithm (not to mention people being more likely to noice accounts with the checkmark). People can say the more garbage takes and be rewarded for it. At least with old Twitter people who posted garbage takes would usually just get laughed at.

"im on bluesky now, its so much better" it's still twitter bro. Nothing to be proud of.

What a dreamy gesture! Realest of guys!

1 extra e and you rule out bots?

I thought it was just me bra

It's sad and terrifying how much social media has affected the ways people talk -- or pretend to talk.

What a real man. Realest guy! Real talk! The best type of male! So truue! I like itPLEASE SOMEONE GET TRIGGERED!

Actually machine learning models will intentionally misspell things if it maximises a reinforcement function. These aren't models though as far as I can tell.

There all bots there all bots there all bots

I never had an account (that I would actually use, instead of lurking) on Twitter, but I have a very active account now on Bluesky. I literally don't understand why some people choose to go back on Twitter, when Bluesky is soooo much better.

I got off the twitter a long time ago. So much so, that I only made an account and never posted anything :) So yeah, my opinion is even worse than yours about that platform.

The comment itself is highly context dependant though. I mean, based on the content it kinda felt like a one time thing. Jelousy can happen even in the best and most trusting relationships. Personally, I wouldn't end a long lasting relationship over something so insignificant as a phone checking... In life things can happen and often it is our job to reaffirm our partner about our loyality and intent or at least explain them the misunderstanding [assuming it really is just that]. I mean, in a perfect world of course we would just talk about it with each other, but I have yet to see a perfect, flawless relationship...
With that said, if this is an everyday occurance like a mandatory survialance checkup, then it is an entirely different topic. Sure, it is highly toxic behaviour.
Ultimately though, I tend to let everyone live their life as they feel like.

I think they're definitely attempting to train AI to make simple mistakes like that to seem more human. A did notice that at least one account (the cat one) is using clearly AI generated profile pictures. This seems like either some weirdly unhinged bot net, or one person with some form of mental health issues and a bunch of alts.

This is so eerie

I've never had Twitter or X.

Can we just talk about trump's literal attempt to coup the government to argue against conservatives instead of this schizo twitter shit?

This is the just what happens when there's noone real left to engage with the ragebait.

Saying "That is a real man" like theyre trying to convince me that he, and by extension they, are indeed real (they havent)

Okay big thief drummer

Haven't opened Twitter in 20 days, I don't miss anything

Dreeeam guy

the content industrial complex appears to have produced humans that behave in the manner of artificial intelligence...

Dead Internet

please stay on bluesky no body ask for your guy's opinions just how you votes did lose your candidates in the end.

thank god you guys still keep paying musk and the system you claim you oppose.

he says the title in this one

What if a Hollywood writer envisioned social-networking — basically..

I think there's certain merit to "Zoya's Talks" and others, otherwise..

...Why would I smash the 👍🏾 button on the mere repetition of “dream guy” and “real men” even before hearing your take?
Sounds like a challenge was fulfilled!

bot accounts are sometimes instructed to add in mispellings to make them seem more human, doubt anyone on the post was even a real person atp

3rd worlders

This is the dead internet cannibalizing itself. I'm not saying they're all bots, but they're bots or such uncreative clout seekers that they're indistinguishable from bots.

What a dream guy!

if an apex predator runs out of prey it may eat its own tail

this shit is fucking dystopic

Them constantly saying "real" makes me think it's not. It's for sure bots or foreign actors

Not bots, nor trolling, just real life married pakistani middle class women.
there is no privacy in the relationships of such ppl (no privacy from within the family that is), and these women are also probably extremely conservative, but want to use modern liberated woman lingo, it's a bit of a mindfuck and not strange under such conditions, just sad)

Just watched a reel where a dude puts on a terrifying mask of his own face and then stares out his toddler daughter while his wife films, and she gets scared and confused, on camera, and all the comments were like “she is so cute!”

Little Joel is such a dream guy for making this video, a real man.

Sweeeet Video. Dream Guy !

this meaningless replies thing also happens on instagram now. Someone who's trying to grow their account will post something slightly interesting or polemic, and then they will reply to EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. with the most useless/contentless reply possible. I think this is just a way to trick engagement metrics, and I believe it's all done automatically somehow.

So kind of you little joel to take the time off from your strenous life to make this entertaining video for us. You're truly the dreamiest of the guys for sure!!

It could be written by a robot. AIs make spelling mistakes. i dunno how much chatgpt does it, but i’ve seen it from a few ais.

Humans will replace ai
