No, nor for one that would require "YouTube", "CNN", "blog", "relative" etc. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2022 #1

Maybe not as a requirement, but as a common courtesy? ck4829 Oct 2022 #2

Why is it "courteous" to say there's a twitter link in a post? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2022 #6

when I click on and open the OP containing a Tweet, it automatically opens up the Twitter Account of msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #11

That's really weird. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2022 #28

For me, it happens on the phone all the time Sympthsical Oct 2022 #29

I've been using chromebook, which is not like PC's or laptops! msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #33

Oddly, its only twitter this happens with...everything else, I have to intentionally click msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #32

Why? DiamondShark Oct 2022 #40

Do they autoplay for you? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2022 #10

Yes, that's the word. Autoplay msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #13

no, but the tweets take forever to load MissMillie Oct 2022 #15

Tweets do not autoplay on DU Celerity Oct 2022 #24

they do on my device. msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #44

I have autoplay enabled on Twitter and no matter how I view a DU post with a Tweet, it only plays Celerity Oct 2022 #48

Apparently, we have different experiences. Did you see EarlGs post? A Win-Win solution in the works! msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #49

I'm keeping an eye on Blue Sky as well. nt Nittersing Oct 2022 #54

✔️ msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #57

FWIW, this will actually be unnecessary on the upcoming DU4 software EarlG Oct 2022 #9

on board culture seems to have morphed into code reading! msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #20

yep, lol Meowmee Oct 2022 #41

Be more amenable to a policy banning tweets. MrsCoffee Oct 2022 #18

I personally ban like it did with facebook msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #21

Did you see the OP the other day about the Guardian article on tiktok? niyad Oct 2022 #23

he is able to rejoin. and just in case you missed it, white supremacists rejoined as well. msfiddlestix Oct 2022 #56

maybe have a forum just for twitter posts, or eShirl Oct 2022 #42

I'd rather see a "Onion" or "Borowitz" in the subject line Liberal In Texas Oct 2022 #47
