it seems to be working just fine despite all the layoffs.
many of these complaints seem more political than practical. I understand that a set of people exists who are dissatisfied with twitter and/or are eagerly anticipating some grand implosion of the company, but many more people than this set use the platform, so questions like "how much longer can twitter last, really?" come across as having come from a very insulated ideological bubble, rather than taking the entire spectrum of experiences had by twitter users into account.
- wootland 4y agoThere have been constant problems since Musk took over. Just yesterday retweets were showing up in people's feeds without the attribution of who retweeted them, so they looked like random people showing up in your feed.
- adamrezich 4y agoit would be hard to argue that the scope of the issues directly correlates with the scale of the layoffs

- wootland 4y agoThe layoffs are certainly one piece of the puzzle, but the incompetent leadership style of Musk, complete lack of viable strategy and failing financials are also to blame.

- giraffe_lady 4y agoPolitical complaints are practical. The entire thing and every decision is in the hands of someone who has proven himself petty, vindictive, and capricious. Flawed as it was there was at least a process before. What his failed "twitter files" scandal did reveal was that it was previously run by people who may have been in some ways wrong or incompetent, but at least were generally operating with a sense of professional responsibility. Musk actively flouts professional responsibility & ethics, which is strictly worse with a large scale international social media platform.
