Not really #MemeTracking, but I found a first version of "I open and close Twitter like a fridge" from 2009. Back then with a positive punchline.
A different version in 2008, where Twitter was described more of filled with quick hits, but nothing with depth.
So far, this seems to be the most popular version:
Popular in 2018
Popular in 2019
First German version?

If you can't/don't want to withstand the current toxicity on Twitter, here are some options:

- Reduce the attack surface
- Take a break
- Use an alternative account
- Switch to the Fediverse

Let me explain them. /1
Reduce the attack surface

The easier it is to interact with you, the easier it is to hurt you. Taking your account private is the strongest option, but there are other things that can still improve your experience.

Mute notifications from most people
twitter.com/settings/notif… /2 Muted notifications Mute no...
Use @blockpartyapp_ to automatically mute people and allow people you trust to decide how to handle them (unmute/block).

Paid version of Blockparty let's you import blocklists as well (It's unclear if Twitter will bring that feature back natively). /3

I am just another animal that sees the bait and can't but die.

How do you define "fake accounts"? In the past Musk talked about "spam bots" (maybe accepting that there are non spam ones) in contrast to "real humans" (are there non real humans?).
How do you draw a random sample of Twitter accounts? The IDs aren't sequential anymore, so that doesn't work. Spam accounts are more active than non spam accounts; Every activity based sample (Tweets, Followers) will overrepresent them.

Let's look at Musk's solution.
Ignoring the first 1000 followers. Why? Because they are more likely humans (friends & family as startup people like to say).

I looked at 2.2 million German tweeting accounts. The median follower count is 204. The median active follower count (>2 German Tweets in month): 24.

Which tool do you use to manage scanned documents? I am currently looking into

Papermerge papermerge.com
Paperless-ng github.com/jonaswinkler/p…
Teedy teedy.io
ocrmypdf-auto github.com/cmccambridge/o…
# Setup
I failed at setting up papermerge. Because I am lazy, that means it's out.

Teedy was easy to setup.

PaperlessNG needed minimal command line configuration (user,pass) and a redis container.

I skipped ocrmypdf-auto for now.
# OCR and search
Teedy took much longer to OCR the files. PaperlessNG was quite fast. Quality seems to be similar.

Search type ahead by PaperlessNG is helpful. And if there is no match, it recommends close matches, which turned out to be a wrong OCR. Super helpful. search in paperlessNG for kündigungstermin shows no resultssearch result in paperlessNG for kiindigungstermin shows thesearch results in teedy for kündigungstermin shows no resulsearching in teedy for the suggestion from paperlessNG finds

I am collecting papers about blocking/banning as a form of community management. Please send me anything you have on that topic.

As I go through them, I am going to add interesting ones to this thread.
"Online Harassment and Content Moderation: The Case of Blocklists" by @shagunjhaver, @suchetaghoshal, @asbruckman and Eric Gilbert.

What are blocklists, how do they work, why do people use them and how to people feel who get blocked.

dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…
"Black Hat Trolling, White Hat Trolling, and Hacking the Attention Landscape" by @jeanna_matthews and Matt Goerzen.

Different trolling tactics (dogpiling, sock puppets, etc.) and possible interventions.

Twitter postponed the launch of the new #TwitterAPI, which was planned for today. But they published a blogpost with what to expect.

In this thread I will share what I am most excited about. /0
An API that grows with you. In the past you had to switch between APIs, as your data needs increased. For me that meant switching back and forth between Standard and Premium API. The new will allow me to use the same endpoint and only change the access level. /1
Instead of Standard/Premium, there will be three product tracks. Each of them will have the ability to get elevated access.

For my research projects, I will probably use the "Academic Research" track. For @accountanalysis the "Business" track. Though these will launch later. /2

Which combinations trigger the COVID-19 info label? 5G plus a Corona term for example. But adding “fak_enews" (no underline), removes it again.
5G Corona
