Twitter is officially a dumpster fire.

  Am I the only one wondering when it stopped being one?

  Always has been.

    People keep saying this but I have never found it to be the case for me. I meet and collaborate with amazing engineers on Twitter, and often get help with tricky problems. I have also had a lot of success using it to spread the word about my own projects.

      Agreed, Twitter when properly curated was very useful.

        Your viewpoints were highly privileged on Twitter for a long time. When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

    Correct, it was always a dumpster fire. Now an entire landfill is on fire.

  For at least 10 years.

  It’s much better now than only a month ago.

Yep. I wonder what went on behind the scenes there. I'm sure the next owner of Twitter will be happy to share all that in 'The Twitter Files'. They'll also be a lot more interesting than the present installments.

  Maybe the booing in person and Dave Chappelle's comment about the booing being pending civil unrest spooked Elon a bit. His right wing shit posting on twitter reaches a lot of people and many dislike him for it. I've been seeing a lot more people posting about boycotting Tesla and associating ownership with his views. I drive a Tesla and frequently people bring up Elon to me. I usually just tell people I don't like/care about Elon but I like the cars Tesla makes.

    I don't want to support this guy in any way shape or form. The damage he's doing is rapidly undoing any good that he's done so far and he's on the expressway to net-negative territory. I'm sure you have a point though: to step out of his bubble of yes-men must have been a cold shower.

      Consider the possibility that destroying Twitter is also a net-positive action. :)

      Musk is well aware he is in a bubble. I'm not even going to pretend that he realistically thinks that everyone just loves and agrees with him.
