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.

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 🤷‍♂️

Twitter to ditch their Circles feature.

I'm OK with this. You?

When did Instagram introduce it's "For you" stream?

#Instagram
Red wine ....... TEST 😁

See the test? 🔍

It's not working for me, or on other shares of a "Thread" I've looked at.
Seems like a good idea. People would no longer have to specify that they are quoting a "thread" rather than a single tweet.

I like the way Elon uses his account to beta test ideas in plain sight. 👍

#Twitter
Wow. WhatsApp video looks just like the feature on Telegram 😐
Posting a link to Threads on X 🤔

As a social media manager would you do this? As a viewer how do you feel about others doing this?
