“HEY GUYS! I WANT MY OLD TWITTER BACK! I CAN’T BEAR THIS NEW TWITTER!” Papa Bear
Wednesday, July 24, 2019
“I just want my Old Twitter back!”
It was somewhere between an angry growl and a deep anguished sigh at the continued dumbing down of Humankind.
OK. I understand. The new techies are caught up in redesigning the Web for human mobile viewing. Their lives are totally cell phone centered — “phoney” folks. And their answer to everything is the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid. The days of “User Friendly” are gone — when have you last even heard that phrase?
Those of us old timers who still use desk monitors and think in terms of the original “magazine format” on our screens (both in viewing and creating new content — especially creative writing) just don’t like this new “mobile formatting.”
And losing my Old Twitter to this sad, simplified, unsatisfactory, slip-shod, squished-screen, sloooow reissue called New Twitter was a kind of Last Straw…
I even tweeted about it: “How Can Papa Bear Get His Old Twitter Layout Back?”
Got an answer from a Twitter guy. Off the record, of course. “No guarantee how long it’ll work.” But today it worked for me!
“YES! I Found Out! There’s A Secret Passage Back To Our Old Twitter!”
Here’s what you do. If you’re on New Twitter right now, go to the Left Panel — that Vertical Line of Symbols & Words — and CLICK ON THESE:
- MORE ( “…” in circle symbol)
- “Settings and Privacy”
- “About Twitter”
- “Directory”
- “Home” Tab Top Left Corner of Directory page
- Old Twitter Restored!
Score One for an Old Working Guy, eh?

Who knew in 2019 what the Suits had in store for us?
Now that Twitter-X has descended into a hate-filled political Morass, I only go on the Old Blue Bird once a week. Just to check out some fave folks I follow, and will forever. Basically, however, most Creatives & Moderates have left Twitter…
