Twitter Meet Greasemonkey!
Friday, November 13th, 2009 08:55 amMwa ha ha ha! I have the power!
So, I love my Firefox Add ons. I LOVE Ad block. Add Bookmark here is awesome. My lj add ons are awesome and there's just a whole bunch of them that I can't imagine browsing without. I used to have Greasemonkey, but then it just stopped working for me. I dunno why. It just broke. And I'd tried intermittently to get it to work without luck. So I hadn't had it for a while. I found a reason to get it again today!
Briefly shifting gears, I don't like Twitter. In fact, I almost kind of hate it. Yes yes, I have a Twitter. But if you look at my Twitters, I'm sure about half of them are about how I do not like or forget I have a freaking Twitter. In fact these days, I spend more time on Twitter blocking serial adders than anything. Twitter is awash with inane little comments and one sided conversations. That drives me nuts. Ugh! And what's worse is that now they want you to crosspost yoru twitters everywhere. Hey, crosspost to myspace! To Facebook! To Livejournal!
NO! No I say! Spare us the horror of twitters! If I wanted to read those little crunchy bites of nothing, I'd read twitter. I don't, so I certainly don't want to see a whole slew of them bundled up and tossed onto Livejournal. Lately, it's been driving me NUTS! Yeah, I can scroll past, but it still drives me nuts as I do so! It's my friendlist. I want to hear about my friends (just not their twitters) and it seems stupid that I'd have to remove or filter them to not hear that particular part.
Enter Greasemonky! I have found a Greasemonkey script that blocks out Loudtwitter posts on LJ. *does a dance of victory* Take that Twitter! You can fine it Over Here. You still see the post itself, just not the whole list of tweets, so you don't have to ignore your friend, you just don't have to hear their tweeting XD And since I have greasemonkey, I poked around at some other scripts and found a nifty Killfile script so you can hide or block the comments of certain people on lj or various other blogging sites. Very handy for ignoring idiots and trolls. There's an lj comment unfolder script drifting around. I don't have to worry about that with a paid account, but changing accounts makes me miss the features, so using that script is also handy if you don't fork over money to lj. It can also work on other lj clones like journalfen.
Anyway, now that I have successfully slain Twitter on my LJ, I am going to take a victory nap. It's like a victory dance, but better! In closing, I'd apologize to all my twittering friends except that....I'm not sorry! I love you, just not your tweets.
Oh, and in related news, I found some chick on twitter who decided that my name was awesome and wanted to be For-Chan Fabulous. *smirky eyeroll* Whatever.
