Why is the site allowing constant twitter posting

[Levo-Lon]

Maybe a block on these random tweets would be a good idea.
Certain members spend all day posting this tripe..

If you have an opinion, fine, but do we need to keep seeing none members rants on twitter here?


Maybe we need a poll on what we can post via other social media..

Just a thought, it might actually stop certain posters pedalling their agendas.

Hit ignore. 👍

Twitterrhoea certainly seems to have laid a few people low since the start of the election campaign. I hope it doesn't last for long.

I've already got lots of threads on ignore, wont be many left in a bit

Isn't it true that twitter only takes in 20% of the population? To echo Bismarck, twitter is not public opinion. Those using twitter tend to gather people of similar opinion who, in agreeing with them, enable the illusion that 'everybody thinks like this'.

Some tweets, especially on the eternal Brexit thread, can be interesting, but excessive reference to this perhaps ought to be discouraged without being outright banned. How's that for good old British compromise?

My adblocker blocks twitter so all I see is a load of people posting who have nothing to say.

I don’t see a Twitter feed, but I do use an Ad Blocker

My adblocker doesn't block twitter so all I see is a load of people posting who have nothing to say.

I dunno, I disagree with you about some things so I tried to have a discussion with you. You told me I was wrong for having an opinion which I don't even hold and then flounced from the thread. So as someone who posts a fair few twitter links which I find interesting, if I am 'peddling an agenda' or even just expressing an opinion, which you say is 'fine', then I'm obviously doing it really badly as you certainly haven't understood it and are anyway unwilling to engage.

While we're at it, can we ban links to The Sun, Daily Mail and The Express? I don't much care for the lies and nonsense on those sites.

I would have thought if you don't like like it don't read it ? Or just put someone on ignore ? I don't really care either way.I don't block anyone,doesn't bother me.

CC is the only place where I see any twitter. It doesn’t bother me, sometimes it amusing and informative. You don’t have to read it. Same with links to the Wail, Sun, the guardian etc.
What’s important is that it offers something of value to the debate in hand....

It doesn’t bother me - like most of the stuff on social media, there’s good things, there’s bad things, there’s things I agree with and things I don’t agree with. If people don’t like something, best thing is to ignore it.

Let’s not forget, just because someone posts their own thoughts, it doesn’t necessarily make them more valid, reliable or relevant than a link to a Tweet.

Don't think I've ever seen one which has done that. Why can't the poster share his own thoughts directly rather than channel them through some twit on Twitter?
