Serious Q, as I dont know Twitters internal infra at all... but with a shrinking in revenue from ads, or maybe less engagement by users, and the influx of Threads - maybe twitter can use from slices of its infra (even if its rack space, VMs, Containers, connectivity, who knows what, to support startups such as this?
Basically twitter devolves into the Colos of the late 90s :-)

For those who didnt notice, it was tongue in cheek.
- version_five 3y agoI've generally tried to give Twitter the benefit of the doubt but I would never trust them as an infrastructure provider in their current incarnation. Reliability and consistency have been so far from their focus.
- aionaiodfgnio 3y agoWould you really trust a company that doesn't pay its rent to run your infrastructure?
