That’s a very good point. Why not negotiate a deal over the past 15 years, why leave their customers and company hanging on a key invalidation.

You’d have to agree that the current owners are “controlling the defacto public square” a magnitude less than the previous ones. I don’t think asking a tiny % of twitter users to use their products interfaces instead of third parties is very controlling, but shadow banning, and censoring topics is incredibly.

I’d guess Ads and it’s confusing the enhancements and rapid product development they are shipping.

Makes sense.

In what way are they good? How they provide revenue for twitter.

Do you have a source on your assumption of costs and benefits

I agree, but it is 2023 now, it’s not super important how Twitter was founded.

Twitter makes a great news reader. Never read replies. Facebook is cancer.

I agree it does seem folks are reevaluating their social life, lucky that was happening before Elon.

Really puts “I’m leaving twitter” and 7 day suspensions into perspective.

That last bit about making mistakes but at least decisions are being made is important. Also connects well with what we have seen in the first 6 weeks of Elon Twitter.

Does the executive team reply to you in under an hour and Handle it?

The point is they didn’t complain because they were aligned with the people asking them to handle, and they also handled it real quick, not stand tos report flow for sure.

What is wild? Musk has said for a long time Twitter needs 75% less staff. What did you expect firing that many people to look like?

He is pushing the limits (and maybe finding them) of how quickly you can correct head count in a larger company. We won’t know if his actual vision for the product is bad until he gets done with this transitional period and can start releasing updates. Basically I’d argue not much happened yet but HR meetings.

In Ventura you have to click to download most wallpaper options, so they must have recognized the issue.
