@MichaelCalifra @JustinWolfers Canadian here. Historically speaking that is very untrue! Don’t get too cynical Arguably your biggest problem is that you are too used to having a relatively free, open, and welcoming society. Many of you can’t imagine that it can be taken away

1/3 Here’s a plea to all of Twitter. If you agree, please retweet, because I think it’s important. If you’re going to leave: 1) Don’t delete your account, because someone else could grab it. 2) Don’t delete your tweets, because they are part of a unique historical snapshot.

It’s been about a month since I went to Mastodon. It’s much better for me. Also, I only follow people I’ve met. Without anyone with an agenda to engage me, my feed takes 3 minutes and all of it enriches my life. Only coming back to ask: why are you still here?

@alexeheath I'm a little disappointed. Given the source, I think we have to be skeptical that the initiative is real, and we should be careful when he name-drops others to make it seem more real. In particular, did you attempt to confirm this with @moxie?

@VasiliyZukanov @pmarca You have to be trolling. What about “report to my office with screenshots of your code” strikes you as dev-driven

@carlsverre I wouldn't have found out about a lot of interesting tech stuff otherwise. Like @goodside, that's Only On Twitter However, as Knuth (quoting Eco) said, "I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive messages" www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.h…

@carlsverre I got a lot of value here from early-breaking news (like nearly 2 months advance warning for COVID) and alternative takes (masks are good actually!) However, this comes at the cost of being driven somewhat insane the rest of the time

Why I left @twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0 🧵

tbh I expect they are going to bumble along with a lot more downtime and the engs will get used to shutting down and restarting services in sequence, with throttled % of users this is usually the last resort and it will become their 1st resort

This is all true, but don’t expect Twitter to just die suddenly There are options – a lot more options! – once you are willing to accept the loss of some sleep, some users, some reliability, some metrics, some reputation, and some of your immortal soul

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

I actually reached out to some journalists but didn’t get any replies.

@wanyeburkett @GordonByBike (It might be unethical if you're dragging norms down, but Musk already did that, and as CEO he actually has the primary responsibility to set norms)

@wanyeburkett @GordonByBike It's definitely never a good tactic to harshly criticize anyone you work with in public, and I doubt anything was gained here. But it's not inherently unethical or immoral.
