Are you leaving Twitter?

[Epona]

I've been on twitter for a few months but I follow a handful of game developer official twitter accounts, a bird-watching colleague, Thames21, NASA, and a couple of archaeology publications... that's it.

So my twitter looks like DLC announcements, bird photos, "we were on telly again talking about wet wipe pollution" excitement, astronauts and rockets, and stuff about digs and ancient cultures.

If I actually used it for anything else I'd move to another platform, but I don't so kind of lack impetus. Fucking hate Musk though and what he's doing to his employees is fucking criminal (or ought to be).

Wasn't "on twatter" anyway, but given how the new owner has been behaving, especially towards the staff, I'm not about to sign up anytime soon.

Now Husk is demanding the remaining Twitter staff must be in the office 40+ hours per week or GTFO, because nothing encourages people to come in to your workplace and not resign like firing half your staff and telling the other half you don't trust them and think they're lazy.

Yes, I said doggy. What of it?

doggy bots might be an improvement...

 

[bcuster]

i'm not leaving twitter. the good & utilitarian outweighs the bad by far...

 

[Cloo]

I wonder how little Musk will end up disposing of Twitter for in a year or so?

I hope he ends up having to pay to get it towed away.

It's all quite entertaining

This is more like it.

 

[hash tag]

I will not be leaving Twitter for to do that, I would need to join it first. Why would I?

 

[hitmouse]

Have we had this one yet?

 

[WouldBe]

Woof.

 

[editor]

I've always hated Twitter as much as I hate Facebook, but as it has its uses for spreading the word/sharing content, I'll keep on using it for as long as it's productive.

How hard would it be to set up a ball bot to distract it?

 

[Cloo]

It is rather weird watching the decline of the organisation behind the app on the app. This evening it's been blow-by-blow accounts of an all-hands meeting.

 

[tommers]

We might not have a choice soon anyway.

Free semaglutide would be a more popular proposition. With every Happy Meal.

Oh dear. It’s all a bit of a bin fire.

My anti-paywall measures aren't working on this one. Bypass Paywalls has no effect and Reader Mode only gives two paragraphs.

Why is Ted Cruz such an enduringly hilarious joke? This stuff is golden

They’re the important ones. Musk has warned a (very leaky) meeting that bankruptcy is a very real possibility, and more execs have quit.

Archive version works fine:

The billionaire recently cut half of Twitter’s staff and introduced dramatic changes to its subscription rules. On Thursday, the changes resulted in multiple major advertisers getting impersonated by accounts with blue check marks, indicating verification.

Earlier Thursday, Twitter’s chief information security officer, chief privacy officer and chief compliance officer departed, raising concerns about the company’s ability to keep its platform secure and comply with regulatory rules. Twitter is currently bound by a consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission that regulates how the company handles user data, and could be subject to fines for violations.

The lettuce is still looking perky!

 

[tommers]

There are loads of these. Whoever could have predicted it?

 

[spitfire]

Christ, we could start a thread just on these spoofs. If I'd been drinking tea this would have made me spit it out.
