My pet peeve--all the posts slamming Twitter side-by-side with posts linking to Twitter

[Mr.Mystery]

Anybody else see a contradiction there?

FYI—I’ve never been on Twitter and never going to be on it. Not on Facebook either.

1. Not to mention the tweets slamming Twitter...

2. HAH! Took me a moment to "get" that. Nt

6. Someone should tweet a complaint slamming tweets on DU

And then post that tweet here.

10. Then somebody should make it an OP on General Discussion (it won't be me ...) n/t

3. I heard that peeves don't make good pets

I thought about adopting one from the local peeve rescue, but I’m not sure whether I’m ready to commit to having one.

What would you tell someone that doesn’t have one, but is thinking of having one?

7. . . .

I have often been peeved at my pet now that you mention it.

8. Get a rescue peeve

For example, my partner cannot stand it when there are any leaves in the yard. I, however, happily don't care.

However, through the alchemy of relationships, I have been made to care and have taken his peeve to shelter under the eaves of my soul.

Easier to care for as well, as you then have two people nurturing it.

Multiplying peeves
gathering leaves to the trash
soul cleaves to spring hope

4. I seldom have to log into Twitter. I just go to my DU account and pick one of the Twitter topics

and link to it from here.

5. I get it...

... but it's a bit like complaining that people who are working on combating climate change use airlines to travel when needed.

It's ok to criticize a current system while still making use of it.

9. Yes. I think most of us who are regular users of Twitter have always been critical of it.

I can't think of anyone whose tweets I read regularly who isn't.

Our criticisms are usually somewhat different to those who don't use and don't like it, that's all.

I'm not bothered if anyone on DU disdains Twitter, doesn't trust it, wants nothing to do with it. I try to make it plain if anything I post relies on Twitter to cater for such people.

I get a little bored by and impatient with the constant griping about it, which doesn't achieve anything and adds no new information to the discourse, but then people on DU gripe about a lot of things. Every platform has noise. You either filter it out or get engulfed by it.

11. Good point
