Twitter C/D

mh otm

seems like twitter's resilience during the world cup emboldened elon to fire even more of the infrastructure team https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-has-reportedly-laid-off-more-of-its-infrastructure-team-192330953.html

apparently twitter's workforce has now shrunk by over 75%?

Tesla board's gotta love it when they read shit like "Musk tapped Tesla engineer Sheen Austin to run the social media website’s infrastructure team following Abramson’s departure."

xpost Kinda like realizing you can still make the car move with four blown tires and deciding to just go ahead and smash the axles as well

xp yeah the tesla situation is pretty good not only is he ignoring his ceo job and dumping stock hes poaching teslas workers

very funny to see big tesla investors publicly beg him to stop on twitter

hes so out of pocket you almost have to respect it

i dont have to respect anything

no you almost have to respect it

lmao the formatting

Why would I need Twitter? I can read @dril’s tweets in book form. pic.twitter.com/5y0wK3E0AL

Should I run Twitter ?

lol

You have to pay the cost to be the boss

Meanwhile long after everyone's stopped paying attention to the Twitter Files, Lee Fang has an actually interesting installment about Twitter enabling U.S. propaganda in other countries. https://theintercept.com/2022/12/20/twitter-dod-us-military-accounts/

I would have more faith in Snoop’s abilities to oversee this company and platform, even after it’s been choked almost to death.

I’m sure the guy who tweeted “We coup who we want” is really interested in stamping out US propaganda

Probably DoD is going to consider him a security risk and just not tell him what they're doing at all. What govt in their right mind is going to tell Musk anything?

the only answer i can think of is the one we had in the u.s. up until a couple years ago, but they weren't in their right minds

I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.

The next CEO of Twitter will be Jared Kushner.

This is like when Putin had to go and be prime minister for a few years and pretend that someone else was running the country.

Lmao Elon being director of engineering is a hilarious concept

i'll just do the stuff that is super hardcore that's all

yeah no, i will never "join quality conversations" ty

with twitter's new "views" feature you precisely gauge the insignificance and meaninglessness of your thoughts, opinions, and existence

My worst nightmare is we get a Views count on ILX.

just dismissed the same ad four different times

uh yeah every time I see the "view" count I'm mentally figuring out the like/RT ratio, this is really distracting. maybe it's just me though

they should just show the ratios

I shouldn’t be surprised, but very disheartening to see Glinner has been unbanned and is immediately posting transphobic bile

As with his writing for the daily heil if you looked at his steez pre hate crusade you might naively assume there would have to be at least *some* introspection about exactly who is on his side these days

Haha cunt changed his Twitter bio to deny his previous views. Let’s see how he gets on throwing accusations at people while living in a country with plaintiff-friendly libel laws.

Actually just remembered he lost his original, early adopter blue verified tick and it’s not on the account now. Hope he starts sending Elon aggressive emails about it!

just scrolled my (algorithmic) timeline for 5 min and saw like 4 repeated tweets

I shouldn’t be surprised, but very disheartening to see Glinner has been unbanned and is immediately posting transphobic bile

genuinely surprised to see how much of an effort he made to tone it down from what he's posted on his socks & burners during the ban

the charm of being a subversive ban evader and truth-speaker kind of wears off when your account’s reinstated and the owner of the company is voicing the same repellent views

https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Pages/most-read-threads.jsp

Huh, never noticed that before. Seems weird that some of the most-read threads in the past 5 minutes haven't been updated in years. I guess ILX gets a fair bit of traffic from search results.

elon going with one of his fave moves juicing the stats

I'm calling bullshit on Views -
I logged out of this alt, returned 5 minutes later and suddenly there were 8 more views. pic.twitter.com/fqjZhY9tq6

— Nick (@StrayDogNZ) December 23, 2022

I kind of wondered how they’re defining “views” there and whether it’s actual users or just anytime the tweet’s marked delivered

maybe the tweet was viewed multiple times by the advertising algorithm

cool cool cool, just no bottom with this fucker

Dec 23 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc removed a feature in the past few days that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources to users looking up certain content, according to two people familiar with the matter who said it was ordered by new owner Elon Musk.

The removal of the feature, known as #ThereIsHelp, has not been previously reported. It had shown at the top of specific searches contacts for support organizations in many countries related to mental health, HIV, vaccines, child sexual exploitation, COVID-19, gender-based violence, natural disasters and freedom of expression.

Its elimination could add to concerns about the well-being of vulnerable users on Twitter. Musk has said that impressions, or views, of harmful content are declining since he took over in October and has tweeted graphs showing a downward trend, even as researchers and civil rights groups have tracked an increase in tweets with racial slurs and other hateful content.

Twitter and Musk did not respond to requests for comment on the removal of the feature.

Huh, Nathan J Robinson still exists

Yeah I’m getting this Wendy’s ad over and over again

Can someone explain to me how something can be trending on @twitter without any recent tweets (or top tweets, for that matter)? It's not just this one, same for typing 2,000... @elonmusk? Anyone?#idontgetit #MerryChristmas pic.twitter.com/HBTNQ13krh

Currently into hour six of a random bitcoin scammer having access to the DMs of the Secretary of State for Education. The fallout from this will be visible from orbit.
