Twitter seems to be ignoring the development of its website entirely. This is not the first feature that’s been exclusive to just the mobile apps: - Fleets, launched months ago, is still app-only - Spaces, the Clubhouse clone, is also app-only. - Now Tipping. - Even the uncropped images that launched yesterday (for vertical images) is app-only.

It makes sense when you consider that all the successful services they are copying (Instagram, Snapchat, Clubhouse) are app-only.

Instagram stories (and IG in general) has been functional on the mobile web for more than 3 years: https://www.pcmag.com/news/post-instagram-stories-from-the-m....

Social Media has a broken business model that does not respect its users. Any experiment that might result in better-aligned incentives for users and company is welcome!

Somebody has mentioned this about Patreon before. But couldn't a drug dealer now just sign up to Twitter and get Tips from their customers instead of cash?

The drug dealer could already use Venmo or CashApp or Paypal or a hundred other apps. Twitter isn't adding anything new.

Yep PayPal is awful about this stuff. I have a friend who's deadname was leaking through PayPal reciepts. They couldn't change it because PayPal insisted on showing the name of the account holder which was validated through the bank account linking. To protect them I now manage the account they have people send payments and donations to. It's suboptimal but it's the only way we can be totally sure their deadname does…

Today's ten thousand: "Deadnaming" is apparently calling a transgender person by the old name they abandoned, a "deadname" being the name of their former identity. IMO that's a weird term.

Women are much more likely to be aware of the pretty serious risk of somebody being able to easily attain your address. I think it's a fair statement

Based on what? Do you have any research or studies that support that statement?

4x more likely to be stalked, along with many other issues that go along with that.

If you'd like tho, you could happy refute that doesn't correlate with my initial statement if you so feel the need.

This was from a singular Google search in about 5 seconds, I'm sure there's much more statistics out there if you feel unsure.

I remember in 2017 in /r/dogecoin, we would tip each other thousands of doge (back then, it was 1/10th of a penny) for "such many random and much wow comment in forum". This was achieved with a DOGE tipping bot. This idea will most likely work if Twitter starts supporting it as a first class feature. And maybe it will encourage people to speak about things that are valuable. Or maybe it will continue to encourage the…

On the other hand /r/cryptocurrency introduced "moons" as tipping mechanism and the quality of the discussions went downhill really quick. Nowadays, there's lots of sob stories or random posts about how a person just bought in to some random coin, personal anecdotes, etc. I think whatever tipping is implemented needs to be pretty much worthless (aka mostly symbolic), otherwise, people will just spend a lot of their t…

Well it did tone down the aggressive argumentation, shill shrieking, negative behavior, etc. in the subreddit. At the cost of what you already stated. People are being more performative and excessively positive/empathetic/comedic to farm moons.

I mean it makes sense - a monetary incentive for good (at least superficially) behavior. Same as the physically world.

That was such a fun community. I wonder how much the doge donated to the Jamaican bobsled team and that NASCAR sponsorship would be worth now. There was a pretty sizeable Charity:Water donation too.

The Senior Product Manager who wrote the post is a woman.

Let me clarify - I meant a class of issues usually described that way, but spelled out it's "members of the team have little direct or indirect contact with people impacted by higher privacy needs, who are quite often global or context-specific minorities or people commonly exposed to abuse that impacts them". I wish we had a unique name for it because it keeps repeating online, and is often shortened the way I comme…

Literally everyone I've ever spoken to about privacy has been a man. What the hell are you talking about?

Apparently if you send someone a tip with this they get your mailing address as part of the receipt. https://twitter.com/racheltobac/status/1390409874006183936 This is a PayPal issue, but Twitter are responding by adding a warning so people know it will happen: https://twitter.com/kayvz/status/1390423761183117312 ?
