Twitter comes rapidly to mind
- wyclif 4y agoThe difference is that Twitter is better than it's ever been now, while Facebook and Airbnb continue to deteriorate.
- seattle_spring 4y agoI'm sorry but I literally laughed out loud after reading your comment.
- wyclif 4y agoLaugh away, but Old Twitter was run by some pretty scummy people who allowed the FBI and CIA to backdoor the service. It was also a lot slower and broken compared to how fast it is now, especially outside North America (they recently added a lot more server capacity). Also massively bloated as recently as a year ago. Loads of people working there who didn't seem to do much except tweak icons 2000 times, enforce DEI mandates, and hit their department's budget. Awful. Glad to see the deadwood getting cleaned out, speed enhancements, and new features being rolled out.

- esprehn 4y agoAdded more server capacity? They just shut down an entire data center (they had 3, so that's a -33% reduction if you assume they're the same size.) https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/technology/twitter-elon-musk.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/technology/twitter-elon-m... What's the speed enhancements?
- wyclif 4y agoI'm told most of the rollout was data centers outside North America: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1608324539779551232 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1608324539779551232
