Remember video responses on YouTube?
.... Which were dumped way back in 2013.

Well it seems #Shorts have brought back a way to respond, at least for videos 60 seconds and under: use cut.
Though you can only use around five seconds from the Short you are responding to.

Easy? Try it out and let me know 👍

Twitter's community manager for their Community feature has been laid off.

The future of the community feature? Unknown at this point.

Do use YouTube's Communnity tab?

Should I use mine?

Who sees REPLIES to Twitter Circle tweets?

It's not clear to me who sees replies to Twitter Circle tweets. Are they like replies to protected tweets, which are public (when the accounts tweets are public). Or do replies to a Twitter Circle tweet have the same visibility applied as the Twitter Circle tweet?

I guess I could test this, but does anyone already know?

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to pull my hair out.

But can you see why?

#Twitter
On April 1st all Twitter's "legacy" verification check marks are set to disappear.

Are you bothered?
Currently when you publish on Twitter it is possible to change "Who can reply" from "Everyone" to "People you follow" or "Only people you mention".

It seems to me that it would make much more sense for the middle option to be "Your followers" instead.

Thoughts?

Which social media platform is best understood by its users?

If any 🤷‍♂️
Not sure when this changed but a hashtag search on Twitter now returns standard search results alongside the hashtag results.

If that isn't clear for example this hashtag search returns results which contain the text "not Instagram" alongside hashtag results.

As a secondary thought it also looks like search results are available only to logged in users.

#Twitter
Instagram stops allowing you to see "Recent" hashtagged photos. Now you have the option to see "Recent top posts" instead.

I guess this is to combat hashtag spam, but the question is will it show all genuinely tagged images? 🤷‍♂️

When did Facebook last innovate a new feature themselves, rather than copy or steal?

It wasn't clear to me previously, nor does it state on Twitter's Circle help page, but the same visibility is applied to replies.

#Twitter #Feature
After a long wait and repeatedly stating that I didn't think that Twitter Communities were officially dead, it is great to have some confirmation that the feature isn't dead and is now being actively worked on again.

Hopefully they'll take Communities in the right direction 👍

To unfollow someone you'll need to visit their profile I guess 🤷‍♂️
