TWEETDECK THANKS 😉
Whatever gentleman, whose name and alias I’ve forgotten, indirectly suggested switching from https://t.co/hvk5n9AYEo to https://t.co/DYQm0NOEcu so that you have a full twitter workspace, (not dissimilar to my company’s product Oversing), I’m forever in your debt. Even if my laptop battery curses you now and then, 😉

Now, this sounds a little dim, given that tweetdeck has been around since ’08, was acquired by twitter in ’11, and was converted to a Twitter Pro (blue checkmark) feature in july of ’23.

Truth is tho, that while I’ve had this account since 09, and while the Institute uses Twitter as it’s primary social media presence, I have, and we have, only really used twitter (despite my ‘prodigious’ posting) since I think ’20. Before that we were using facebook, which, of course, meant we were subject to raiding (organized attempted cancelling).

And while, here on Twitter, we still suffer these ‘dark triad trolls’ from both the young hard right and left, and we’ve had to defend these organized attacks on two of our Fellows, by misrepresenting their language out of context, and still have one in progress now, we’re less subject to thise ‘raids’ than we were on Facebook.

See the tweet: “Maintaining Decorum” for how we defend against canceling despite the risks of doing our work in public for the benefit of all.
