My money's on the Internet moving on.
Twitter, as it exists right now, is done. Whatever emerges from the ashes won't look anything like the original. We may be looking at the birth of Parler 2.0.
- dmak 4y agoWhy do you think this would end up like Parler 2.0?
- dagi3d 4y agoI thought pretty much the same when I read a bunch of research/innovation teams were completely dismantled.
- dmak 4y agoIf the new buyer has a complete different vision, wouldn't it make more sense to hire the right people to build out that vision and have them innovate towards that instead of retaining the old people innovating for the old vision? It's not like the previous team has innovated on much in the last decade of Twitter either.
- benjaminwootton 4y agoBecause letting a few right leaning voices back to question the lefty loonies who currently run amok on there qualifies as hate speech.
- dmak 4y agoIsn't it a bit early to judge when we haven't seen the new strategy for how to address this issue?
- bogantech 4y agoIn a month everyone will have moved on to the next trendy thing to rage about and nothing will have changed at twitter
- dylan604 4y agoSeems like by "in a month" to be true, the next trendy thing would already be known. Mastadon is not it, so what's the migration moving to?
- eknkc 4y agoTwitter has been "done" for half a decade now. It just keeps going despite being a cesspool. It was never the trendy or the biggest social network. I don't think it will collapse. I personally only use twitter to follow things. It is handy. You can follow updates on software or services. You can follow politics, celebrities, friends etc. I don't want to watch people dance or post altered selfies all day long. I also don't want to follow a bunch of rss feeds and shit. Look at antirez's recent post about linked lists. It cam from people arguing about linked lists on twitter. About freaking linked lists. This is usenet territory here. Won't find that on any other social network. Only thing that is similar for me is Reddit and it is also a cesspool, also keeps going.
