wait is twitter actually dying? I thought people were just memeing about it as always, im completely out of that sort of loop
It's kind of amusing to watch but in all seriousness, Things Do Not Look Good. 75% of the moderation staff was laid off, the entire board of directors was fired, Elon's threatening more ads for anyone who doesn't pay the $8/mo, if everyone who does pay $8/mo gets a bluecheck it will completely undermine verification, advertisers have already started pulling out, combined with the fact that it'd been on a steady decline for 2 years anyway, trust has hit the point where it's permanently eroded and the only reason people log in at all is because there's not a unified Plan B, at least not yet.
Also, laid off many of the people who run the infrastructure, told the company they have to save 1 billion USD on infrastructure cost, and want to add new features. It's entirely possible the site will stop working due to some random problem, and they won't be be able to get it up and running again for a long time...
If rumors of fired employees being asked to come back and fix things are true, we're gonna start seeing the site fall apart within the very near future. Honestly considering how many times I had to refresh a page to view one guy's profile yesterday, it may have already begun
"you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?" i say to an empty room, "borat voice my wife". wind whistles through the cracks in the plaster.
"Damn, you live like this?" I ask the silence, or did the silence ask me?

I'm only pissed off about this because I'm weirdly good at the twitter medium :)
