I listened to news in the morning, so was expecting to see a discussion on HN but could not find anything on first 3 pages.
"From the last 90 submissions there seem to be >5% about Elon / Twitter. Why is everybody submissing stuff about that?" this has to be a joke. A major tech company is taking some insane actions, laying off employees, saying Twitter now allows free speech then banning journalists......ITS A POPULAR TOPIC, hence, the submissions.
- the_only_law 4y agoThere were a number of threads popping up last night, but they were quickly getting downranked for obvious reasons.
- sys42590 4y agoMy theory is that the average Joe on either side of the political spectrum is NOT on Twitter nor actively uses Twitter. So if Twitter pulls the plug, what are the consequences for the general public? IMO if Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Uber, Tesla, SpaceX, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Intel, or any other big company pulls the plug it would affect the general public more than Twitter going offline. Of couse it would be very bad for the employees and their families, but most consumers of the service would just move on.
