It is my only form of social media ... I love being anonymous and yet feeling a part of a like minded group ... you, at least for now, allow for personal opinion without retribution. I do not even mind some of the back talk and anger imposed ... that is a part of freedom that we still hold. The only thing I don’t like seeing all of the absolute hate that is in the world now.. I have watched it come for a very long time but it is escalating and it is sad to watch. It did not start with President Trump not even Obama but years ago. I would wish that people would still curtail their anger but they a bent on making it known. It makes all look immature but yet I feel they have not been taught any better. I look forward to reading all of the opinions none the less as it is America and we at least are still free for now and freedom of speech is a part of that and I am grateful for your still allowing that ! Thank you so much !

Twitter isn’t functional because you can’t easily remove followers. Twitter doesn’t recognize that people have different needs over time. Many of us got on expressly to discuss politics. You follow and are followed by thousands of people. Now you want to switch to your real name and focus on people doing a particular workout challenge or use the account for some other, less toxic reason. You either have to delete the account, wait a period of time and start over (losing all your follows) or block every account you don’t want following you anymore, one at a time. Twitter is full of bots supporting the right wing, far left extremists and fake accounts. If you’re there for politics you can’t use your real name because you will be threatened and harassed. One person told me she could find out everything about me and ruin my life. Someone I follow used her real name and a harasser find out the name of the woman’s father’s business and filled yelp with negative reviews. It can at times be a place for “friendship” or learning and even uplifting but it can also be a vile, depressing place.

I’ve been using this app across various devices. I have an iPhone 7 Plus, software fully updated with an updated version of twitter as well. I’ve tried reaching out to twitter support and no response. My issue is that my timeline lags and freezes consistently every 10 seconds or so. The rest of my phone and it’s apps work fine. I can’t scroll, I can’t retweet, I can close the app and open it again only to have the issue still be there. It’s completely unresponsive for 10 seconds or so before the cycle continues. It’s absolutely infuriating. I’ve tried logging out, restarting my phone, deleting the cache on the twitter app, I’ve even uninstalled this app at least twice with no result. It does this when I’m connected to my home WiFi, or on data, or when I’m connected to public and work WiFi. It has nothing to do with my connection. I’ve tried to look up the issue and it seems like there are some people that have this same issue but no solutions are given. Please fix this twitter, I love using this app as a de-stressor

I’m a part of the incredibly large artist community on Twitter and time and time again I’ve seen this complaint arise: too many quote retweets on our tweets. It sounds like it’d be a good thing— it’s attention to our work, right? In some ways, yes, however... these quote retweets take away direct interaction from the original tweets (and for artists this is extremely frustrating). There have been countless experiments conducted by artists on Twitter trying to find out what brings the most interaction to tweets— likes, comments, retweets, or quote retweets; the answer has always been that comments bring the most interaction to the OG tweet (i.e. the OG tweet is then seen on more users’ timelines). Something that me and many other artists (and I’m sure other entrepreneurs and users) urge for is the option to disable quote retweets. I hope you’ll consider this as it wouldn’t have to be forced upon all users (they could choose whether or not other users quote retweeted their tweets or not).

made my twitter account almost 10 years ago an was an avid user on that same account. i was using the app and then sat my phone down for about an hour. when i reopened the app they were asking me to log back in to verify my account. Seeing that I haven’t logged out of twitter i was confused as to why they started to ask me this.i’ve had this account for a long time and the email address i signed up with is one that i no longer had access to. because of this i was unable to reset my password. i tried emailing tech support but they gave me some excuse saying that they couldn’t verify the account and that there was no other way that they could do so. they’ve never asked me to do so before and i am very upset with tech support. i would’ve rather talk to an actual person to explain my problem than send an email that they took a long time to respond to. so now im stuck trying to figure out what my old password was because i don’t want to create a new account. its been 2 weeks since this happened and im very disappointed with their service and lack of communication.
