am I the only person who has no appreciable difference between their 'for your' and 'following' tabs?

The biggest change when I click on "For You" is that I start seeing all the gay porn tweets one of my followers likes.

dragging anyone for being raised in a cult is nagl (even esther crawford)
― micah, Monday, 27 February 2023 22:00 (one year ago) link
I don't think anyone itt is dragging her for being raised in a cult, they are dragging her for her Elon bootlicking. The former wasn't her choice, but the latter definitely is.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 27 February 2023 22:02 (one year ago) link
I can understand the confusion. We’re dragging her for that Burning Man wedding picture and burners are kind of culty, and for having faith that her hard work at twitter would curry Elon’s favor, when twitter under Elon is culty
I don’t think anyone is mocking the actual cult experience, although it does raise questions

how, in the Name of God, has no one called for this to be the new board description, in the seven hours, SEVEN HOURS I SAY, since it was most nobly posted? for the love of all that is holy.

I mean the whole "why is she still bootlicking after they betrayed her" thing is a little undeserved, unfortunately if you are a lets say 'ambitious' person you really can't talk shit about your former employer even if they really fucked you over. my wife went through that and it sucks. everything else about her is fair game though

No need to dunk on her for her past when she's saying things like this
If you can’t take being publicly dunked on then be sure to avoid taking any risks and stay away from all leadership roles. Don’t build or disrupt anything. Stay small and invisible and most of all, be silent and afraid of what others think.— Esther Crawford ✨ (@esthercrawford) February 27, 2023
― papal hotwife (milo z), Tuesday, 28 February 2023 01:36 (one year ago) link
She has terminal Silicon Valley brainworms it would never occur to her to be anything but a bootlicker to people who have more money, obviously they're superior.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Tuesday, 28 February 2023 01:37 (one year ago) link
xxp that’s fair and it’s rude of me to speculate, but I did read the entire series of tweets about her experience and it wasn’t necessarily painted in a negative light, just something she moved past
maybe there are aspects of my upbringing that make the SV mindset foreign to me just as there are aspects of either her adult life or perhaps her childhood that make that mindset appealing to her. she draws a line herself between what she’s learned from her experiences and her business/personal philosophy
― mh, Tuesday, 28 February 2023 01:50 (one year ago) link
and, as caek mentioned, there are better targets for actual ire when it comes to former twitter employees, it’s just the narrative thread of Crawford’s recent online posts that is tempting to unravel. I don’t think there’s a lot to unravel or, as I said, questions to answer. If you keep reading her posts, she answered them all already

tbh between my post not long ago about how maybe Elon’s strategy could work, if he wasn’t such a self-aggrandizing weirdo, and my recent attempts to understand latter-day SV mindset, I’ve been starting to question if I should have tried to move out to the bay area to join a startup fifteen years ago

Yeah sorry, these types of people are the exact reason why people like me had to leave the Bay Area. I don’t care about them losing their jobs or their fortunes or anything— many of them will have made in a few years what I will make in the next decade. Fuck them and fuck their defenders.

elon has done many bad, stupid things with twitter, but one thing he deserves credit for is switching up the buttons seemingly at random multiple times a day. this is important to prevent the formation of muscle memory, keeping users from entering The Poster’s Flow— soul nate (@MNateShyamalan) February 28, 2023

front pages ("for you" and "following") are both down; individual timelines are still there tho i'm not sure if they're updating (possible artefact of ppl not updating them during downtime)
if you click on the #twitterdown hashtag it takes you to the "top" timeline for that hashtag but if you then click on "latest" it tells you that no such hashtag can be found lol
