Twatter Drama Megathread

[Chud]

About half of the last forum was glorified subtweets. While I expect the trend to continue here, I want it all to be contained in this thread, out of consideration for those who want to discuss other things. Twatter-drama-related threads and posts outlside of this thread will be merged into it.

I might as well start this thread by listing the browser extensions I use to make Twitter bearable to use.

I use this custom stylesheet (can be applied w/ a browser extension like Stylus):

Code:

/* make noisy elements grayscale */
[aria-label="Timeline: Your Home Timeline"] a, [aria-label="Timeline: Notifications"], [aria-label="Primary"][role="navigation"] {
    filter: grayscale(100%) !important;
}

/* centering */
[aria-label="Timeline: Your Home Timeline"] article[data-testid="tweet"] > div:first-child > div:first-child > div:first-child > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2) > div:last-child {
    margin: auto !important;
}

article[data-testid="tweet"] a[role="link"]:last-child > div:first-child > div:nth-child(2) {
    text-align: center;
}

main > div, [data-testid="primaryColumn"] {
    margin: auto !important;
}

/* remove header sticky */
[data-testid="primaryColumn"] > div > div:first-child {
    position: relative !important;
}


/* hide shit */
[data-testid="sidebarColumn"] /* sidebar */, [data-testid="tweet"] [role="group"] [data-testid="app-text-transition-container"] /* tweet stats */, [data-testid="DMDrawer"] /* DMs popup */, [aria-label="Timeline: Carousel"],
/* tl profile pictures */
[aria-label="Timeline: Your Home Timeline"] article[data-testid="tweet"] > div:first-child > div:first-child > div:first-child > div:nth-child(2) > div:first-child,
div[style="height: 32px; width: 32px;"],
/* thread link padding */
article[data-testid="tweet"] > div:first-child > a[role="link"]:last-child > div:first-child > div:first-child,
/* heading */
/* [role="heading"], */
/* show more */
section[aria-labelledby="accessible-list-0"] > div:nth-child(2)
> div > div > div > a:first-child:last-child[role="link"]
{
    display: none !important;
}

/* make the spaces sidebar bigger */
.r-pw2am6 {
    margin: 0;
}

.css-1dbjc4n.r-yfoy6g.r-grkpk1.r-utggzx.r-vmopo1.r-bnwqim.r-13qz1uu {
    height: 250px !important;
}

.css-1dbjc4n.r-1awozwy.r-yfoy6g.r-keui8w.r-j9nkxj.r-7dny9e.r-18u37iz.r-im4jzf.r-1wtj0ep.r-1atloto.r-13qz1uu {
    display: none !important;
}

/* tweet width */
section[aria-labelledby="accessible-list-0"] div[aria-label] > div > div[style] {
    width: 600px !important;
}

div[data-testid="primaryColumn"] > div {
    width: 600px !important;
}

/* make everything square */
.r-sdzlij {
    border-radius: 0px !important;
}

to hide most of the garbage from the user interface.

I also use this userscript (can be applied w/ Tampermonkey):

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Switcheroo
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @match        https://twitter.com/*
// @match        https://nitter.net/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=twitter.com
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-start
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    function switch_domain() {
        if (window.location.href.search("nitter.net") > 0) {
            window.location = window.location.href.replace("nitter.net", "twitter.com");
        } else {
            window.location = window.location.href.replace("twitter.com", "nitter.net");
        }
    }

    // Your code here...
    document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) { if (e.altKey && e.key === 'c') { switch_domain() } });
})();

which allows you to switch between Twitter and Nitter instantly by pressing Alt+C. I use Nitter most of the time, only occasionally diving into the foetid Twitter web-app to engage with users / tweets.

i can now be banned in peace..... mission accomplished

[Chud]

I think I've solved the mystery of what killed the last forum:

[Image: https://i.ibb.co/bXNRrTD/Screenshot-2022...witter.png]

He's signed up to this forum, as @onnissokeris. Should we ban him?

[Sharmat]

I'm confused, is he impersonating Gueguedese from amarna? Or are they the same person? No need to ban them until they do something overtly suspicious

[cats]

I think he and Gueguedese are the same person. What's the nature of the hosting service this site uses? Will we get janny'd by mass reports?

[Chud]

I'm confused, is he impersonating Gueguedese from amarna?

I think he and Gueguedese are the same person.

He is impersonating Gueguedese. IIRC, Gueguedese was some sort of European, whereas LEG is Japanese (he signed up to this forum w/ a Japanese e-mail and IP).

What's the nature of the hosting service this site uses? Will we get janny'd by mass reports?

The site and domain are both hosted by based companies, who will keep it up unless it violates US law. There are several illegal ways LEG could take us down, but I'm not going to list them, because he's probably reading this thread.

“BillyONare never understood his sense of humor. When it was revealed that he was a mentally ill Japanese Hakan fanboy…well, that makes sense, doesn’t it? His interlocutor nods sagely.”

[Chud]

“BillyONare never understood his sense of humor. When it was revealed that he was a mentally ill Japanese Hakan fanboy…well, that makes sense, doesn’t it? His interlocutor nods sagely.”

His writing style is bizarre and worthy of further study, especially considering that he's not a native speaker of an Indo-European language.

[cats]

Japanese IP and e-mail doesn't mean much. He could just be using a VPN.

[BillyONare]

“No, it makes sense that he is Japanese.”

[anthony]

He's not Gueguedese. He's always changing his online names and pfps to those of various people who catch his attention. He's told me that he's Kuchean (western non-Han chinese) before.

As for Amarna, I'm pretty sure he just started saying he killed it after seeing that my twitter name was 'Amarna Refugee' because he likes having some particular point to throw at everyone.

And as for how he writes, it might be an affectation he picked up somewhere from another online person who fascinated him, or it might be a broken linguistically gifted and curious mind trying to write complex sentiments in English via literally deconstructed and translated logosyllabic thoughts. By that I mean, I think he might have an original style of translating Chinese into English. I like him even though he seems to have turned on me.

It's not just English, though: his semantic dumps contain Latin (w/ no English descendants), Greek (likewise), German, and even Sanskrit roots, and his soyjak quote tweets cite German and Latin literature. He seems to have reading proficiency in English, German, and Latin at the very least.

[BillyONare]

It hurts my feelings that he is this smart (if you’re not trolling). I always skimmed over his rageposts.

[anthony]

I've spoken to him on discord and he's dumped obscure pdfs on me about things like the histories of obscure western asian peoples. I don't know if he actually reads all of this stuff or if he just hordes data and vomits it out randomly.

[anthony]

He is also reading this thread. I know this to be true.

[Chud]

Gueguedese/Onnissokeris is dark souls groyper. I call the other guy Pseudo-DSG as he usually pretends to be DSG, sometimes LEG or Hakan. Lateral Epicondylitis Groyper/Lorkhan Groyper/trustworthy anime account is another person and isn't around anymore afaik.

I propose we call him "Skinsuit Groyper" or "Skinwalker Groyper".

[Guest]

He tries to dox everyone he encounters. He tried to do this with me at some point and he did this with Hakan, spreading information about him when he got suspended by dming people. He literally does not consider what it means to you, he sees you as mere bits of information or a piece of art. He is also not able to think in abstract terms, he can only work with references to concrete objects, extracts of text or citations. He has some notepad or screenshot tool at hand all the time and copies everything you say to him or anyone else, and he's probably exhausted every wayback link of every user he's obsessed with at this point. He is intellectually retarded in this sense, and you cannot appeal to him with anything other than information about you or other people he "likes".

He used to play as if he were nrx Jim before he became specially fixated with me. At the time he was only ridiculously verbose, and a few months after I blocked him for the first time on twitter (Feb 21) he started to communicate with his idiosyncratic mix of gibberish, so I assume I broke him mentally or something (more than he already was). He contacted several people, including Sphag, to convince me to unblock him. He would dm me asking to be my slave, to tell him things about old users, etc. Then some time around Christmas I blocked him again on the basis of him just being too annoying. He hates me forever now and stalks me through an incognito tab, trying to report all of my tweets. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done this to more, but I'm clearly an exception because his last account was dedicated to me (despite hating me) and my tweets, and keeps using my usernames and Sakuya as his avi.

Nobody knows who I am are neither do you. Maybe someday you'll figure it out, or maybe there is no answer I have never come across to anyone else as quite as threatening as that passage makes me sound,
i think some things can be inexplicable without being insidious

[Guest]

You don't behave in an inexplicable way. I just described what you did in the most prosaic and unthreatening way I could. The way other people perceive probably has to do with how right wingers like to find solace in insane people.
