- Looking at modals on mobile is the nail in the coffin. Due to the screen size it must take up the entire screen. What is the difference between that and "navigating to a new page" in the mobile UI metaphor?
but if your aiming for the universal UI thats exactly what you have todo...the modal filling up the entire screen is a consequence of screen size, not of UI semantics
I paradoxically only really started heavily using Twitter when it seemed to decay under Musk (because I wanted be along for the fun ride). But I can hardly imagine that there could have been more bots before than there are now. Almost all my tweets are immediately liked by some catfishing bot and there are crypto spam bots under every slightly popular tweet.
Same here. And good engagement dropped down significantly. When I had 10K followers, I can easily get 200-400-500 likes and they were more or less real because I also get a lot of impressions and replies.
Nowadays with 35K followers I get, say, 20 likes and ~3 of them are bots.
As someone who reported tons of stupidly obvious spam/crypto bots pre takeover I'm genuinely puzzled as to people reporting _increased_ bots as I can spot maybe one every now and then. Maybe it's because I'm a passive user, but to me it's solved.
Interesting. It could be that I never noticed before because I wasn't as active (and have gained a couple followers in the meantime, thus becoming a slightly more attractive target). In any case it's now bad enough to make me reconsider using the platform at all (that and the promoted replies and tweets by blue checkmarks). Related to your remark about reports: my last few spam reports got the reply that the tweets didn't violate the "sensitive content policy", even though I reported them as spam, not sensitive content. So something seems to be broken about the report system now too.
There are definitely more bots in the replies to the people I follow (a dwindling number as they are all switching focus to bluesky, threads and their own email).
And many have the $8 checks so ... $1 a year is going to very little to the bot population.
I will answer here for convenience, but I have been taking ADHD meds for 12+
years. I would say I am a pretty severe case as in, within moments of meeting me you would know I was quirky.
It makes me a functional adult though I feel it does stifle my creativity in a way. But off my medication, that creative drive may meander about yielding very little.
Lately I have felt I rely on the medication more to be productive when I know best practice is skills before pills.
