Am I understanding the Fleets feature right that responses to those go directly to my messages...? Effectively making my closed DMs useless if I use the feature? And opening my account up to more avenues of harassment? Yeah?
Look, aside from using this feature opening my account up to more harassment, it also just seems really mismatched for the platform. I can’t think of a use case for this here or why I would want it.
ALSO APPARENTLY THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION IF SOMEONE SHARES YOUR TWEET IN THEIR FLEET!
Prepare for online harassment without knowing where the fuck it came from because some person shared your tweet in a fleet.
Fucking great...
Us: Hey twitter can you please work on the Massive online harassment problem you have and can you make the platform safer?

Twitter: Here are a bunch of new useless features that open your account up to more harassment! You like it?
Andrew tested it for me and apparently it doesn’t open up DMs from fleets like it does on Instagram. Thank god. https://twitter.com/drandrewthaler/status/1328747124452835328
