Something like that?
- sfeng 10y agoHow is any of this gonna result in Twitter making more money?
- Cyph0n 10y agoAbsolutely nothing. It's just what OP wants Twitter to be I guess.
- zo1 10y agoOr rather what they think is causing Twitter to lose users/engagement. Those things directly affect whether Twitter will sink or swim within the next year or so which I think are critical.
- amerine 10y agoIt won't.
- _callcc 10y agoIf the question "How would you turn Twitter around?" is being asked in public with tons of people giving great answers, I'm sorry but you have a major leadership problem.
- Melchizedek 10y agoPeople will stop switching to gab.ai? Twitter actually thrives on conflict - stop trying to turn it into a safe space for the easily offended! Or at least don't force it to be a neutered safe space for everyone - leave it up to the users to turn it into that for themselves, not for everyone else.
- burkaman 10y agoWas Twitter profitable in 2010?
- sergiotapia 10y agoSaudi investment money means none of that is ever ever going to happen. Twitter ain't ever going back from regressive left ideologies. If anything they're going to double-down. The fact that Feminist Frequency is on the "safety council" should tell you enough about it and how useless it is.
- burkaman 10y agoHow are you connecting Saudi Arabia to promoting feminism
- vthallam 10y agoor >regressive left ideologies.
- burkaman 10y agoWell, "regressive left" is pretty vague and can mean pretty much whatever you want, but the connection between Saudi Arabia and Feminist Frequency is very specific and should be easily explainable.
- returnbuyer 10y agoPoison the well, make your enemy weaker. It's basic long-term strategy: Marxism for your enemies, powerful fascism for yourself.
- burkaman 10y agoThis is rock-solid analysis, but I still have a couple questions. First, Saudi Arabians have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Twitter. Is this really the best strategy for weakening it? Or are you saying they're using Twitter as a weapon to poison America with the evils of feminism, or something? Second, on a practical level, how did this happen? Someone from Saudi Arabia called up a Twitter executive and said "hey we think your platform could use more feminist perspectives" and they were like "oh yes, this makes perfect sense coming from you, and as you own 5% of our company we take your word as gospel"? And obviously, what does Marxism have to do with feminism? Sorry if you were joking, sometimes it's very hard to tell.
- andrepd 10y ago* Reform or cancel the Trust & Safety council Why. * Remove side wide censorship tools, add self censorship tools (a la Gab) Whose tools are that? * Stop pandering to far left ideologues I'm not aware of any such pandering. Care to give some examples?
- patmcguire 10y agoTrust & Safety council is in their business interests. Harassment is an existential threat if it chases the big names off their platform.
- JarlUlvi 10y agoHarassment is not an opposing opinion on the political spectrum. But to Twitter, it is.
