Ratio

På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-27

Twitter slang: when a tweet gets more replies than likes/retweets → signal the post is bad/dumb/provocative. "Ratio'd" = community dunked on you. The opposite metric: good take = many likes, few angry replies.

Drum-roll: "ratio + L (loss) + you fell off" is the classic dunk format. Brand PR disasters: corp account posts politically dumb tweet → thousands of replies, hundred likes → exec meeting. Musk era: blue checks post replies for algorithm boost → ratio measurement became less meaningful (reply volume comes from sycophants + paid promoters). Bluesky uses the term too, but less intense dunk culture. Classic ratio: politician tweeting tone-deaf takes about plebs issues.
