My Ten Bits of Advice on Twitter Usage (Era 2.0, With Elon)

 1.  If you read something that sounds like BS....treat it and the 'creator' with a 'mute' and you need not worry about 'hate' ever again.  

2.  If it sounds like a parody....it probably is a parody.

3.  Work with a BS-meter....anything above a '5' on your meter....probably is BS.

4.  Occasionally, like 15-percent of the time....Putin will utter a profound comment....so you may not want to mute the guy.

5.  On the list of Twitter-users who said they were leaving Twitter for Mastodon....statistically (with numbers through last week)....only around 2-percent actually did leave like they said they did.  Maybe the crowd will fulfill their promise....it just won't be in 2022.

6.  Just because someone said something on Twitter.....does not make it a fact.  

7.  You had disinformation continually appearing on Twitter before Elon, and it'll appear even now.  You have to accept the fact that it's permanently there...lurking in the shadows.

8.  There are probably over 1-million Twitter accounts....owned by people who are mentally unstable.  So don't go expecting some sanity check before reading what they commented upon.

9.  Without content....Twitter is nothing.

10.  Remember, we are just days away from some anti-lead pencil activist going ballistic on Twitter, and causing you to question your number two lead pencil.  Always be skeptical of what you hear.
