Something Rank

I'll now tell you a tale
And I will be frank
Something is amiss
For, the rankings are rank.

When copied posts
Get to the top
And original works
Tend to flop

"Follow me, follow you"
Is the rhetoric of some
But this turns your feed
Into a meaningless hum

Better to follow a
Few works of art
Than follow the world
But lose your own heart

When jokes get to the top
The ranking is flawed
There's so many others
Whom we should applaud

This isn't a tale
Written out of spite
But there is a message:
Own what you write.

Opuss Is Not Twitter™

Opuss is not Twitter™. So do not treat it as such. With your one liner updates. On life, how long, how much. If you want to tell us how you feel. Then write a little rhyme.

This isn't Instagram. This ain't your twitter feed. Looking for a Facebook fix. Then this ain't what you need. Sure we like a quote or two, But millions. No thanks.

Was That Really Necessary?

This isn't Facebook Instagram or twitter, This is Opuss not a status updater.

Social

This isn't Twitter. Keep your litter. This isn't Facebook. I don't give a fook. This isn't Bebo. That's for the ho. This isn't MySpace. Get off my case. So don't treat it like such.

Very well written. I do follow back but I unfollow if I get annoyed by a poster. I'm thinking of having a clear out as I there are some inactive accounts (newbies that never posted or stayed).
