the article is from 2022 but it may as well be from 2012. Back about a decade ago there was a huge push in companies toward "employee engagement" and social media was seen as the next big thing. about a bakers dozen companies (trello, atlassian, the usual scumbags) showed up to pitch their version of a sterile, enforced, monitored and legally blessed version of "twitter" for the office. GenZ ignored it, GenX abhorred it, and boomers in the C level posted platitudes and broad, poetic directional sentiments about corporate leadership stuff (or they had their secretaries do it for them.) check your company intranet. chances are probably great you can find your own 'twitter' clone struggling in an overcommitted vmware instance or chugging along on a second generation Intel pizza box somewhere in a forgotten closet. These things never got patched because the implementation came from the vendor (along with free merch), so theres no local knowledge on how to fix them if they ever break. If you look hard enough, you might even find the add-on "blogging" platform your company got sold when they complained discount twitter for the office wasnt engaging anyone.
