It's been taken over by someone making erratic emotionally-driven changes every 10 minutes, firing people with domain knowledge left and right and already under various investigations. Maybe it'll be fine, but it's really up in the air.
- nailer 4y agoWhat erratic emotionally driven changes have there been? > Firing people with domain knowledge From the sounds of it, many deserved to be fired: > teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users. https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1601008766861815808?s=20&t=LQt2gKG8pkzRKvgNn9G47g https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1601008766861815808?s=2...
- sshine 4y ago> Maybe it'll be fine, but it's really up in the air. Twitter was already, by all means, up in the air. Twitter is a highly politicized environment where you get treated differently based on your views. Since it got a new captain, all those who were in power (meaning they didn't, on average, get treated unfavorably by the platform) are now claiming that the platform is dead. I dare to say the erratic emotion is on the side of those who say Twitter is dead.
