    • a Claes unto himself 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛
    @clacke I assume that the company has a tradition of allowing employees to speak freely. I certainly would not use $EMPLOYER's #MSTeams system to criticize upper management. I have plenty to say about them, but I don't say it in *their own forum* or in a way that that can be trivially linked to a specific employee.
    Maybe #Twitter's employees never knew how good they had it until it all changed. Now that they have the ultimate pointy haired boss, they are subjected to the kind of things that restaurant / retail / warehouse workers had all along.

    I keep seeing posts about #Twitter turning off microservices deemed bloatware and including the #SMS service that #2FA depends on.

    This means that if you turned on two factor authentication, you cannot lo back in if you log out

    Elon #Musk says #Twitter's revenue had dropped. A lot. He blames "activists" lobbying their advertisers.

    > … is a Twitter misfeature

    One of the most annoying things about #Twitter is all the garbage that they shove in your face.

    One of your contacts follows this person. One of your contacts liked this tweet. This tweet is part of a topic we think you might like.

    No! Polluting my timeline with that garbage just makes me less likely to come back anytime soon.

    Elon #Musk facing challenging economic environment as he takes over #Twitter, also faces skittish advertisers who've seen all the things he posted.

    That's probably one reason for the job cuts he's making. Aside from disagreements about the company's direction (e.g., the most likely reason for firing the executive team), he's expected to cut headcount by 30% or more; with some claiming up to 75%.

    I know they're probably considered overstaffed (as are all large companies and government agencies), but I sincerely question his ability to make it profitable if he cuts 50% or more of the staff over the first year. (He could do the "hire younger people for less money and have the existing staff train their replacements" thing. I personally think that is vile, but he wouldn't be the first company acquirer to do this.)

    I'm not on the inside, but it seems to me that once you pass 20% staff reduction, less people working means less work gets done. Now, sometimes, the work that no longer gets done was not needed anyway, but it doesn't sound like he's got a lot of runway to figure things out before he needs to be flying. His funders are going to start expecting to start receiving payments within months.

    Why is it interesting to me? I still have a Twitter account. I'm trying to log in once per month, so I can gradually reacquaint myself with any of my contacts that are still there. In reality, it is probably closer to three times per year. If it weren't for Twitter (and a couple of once similar sites: Pownce, Jaiku, Identi.ca), I would not be here.

    @simsa04 @geniusmusing If they did, their instance(s) would rapidly become the largest. They would be the “center of gravity” that endangers the health of every #federated network in which they appear.

    However, I think that, freed from the distraction of #Musk and the public attention of #Twitter, they would rather focus on proving that a network built upon their #AT_Protocol is viable.

    I am not planning to launch the first open registration public instance until every !fnetworks #GNU_Social instance is running version 2.0+, so #Federati Networks may miss this next wave of #Twitter refugees.

    The chaotic situation at home has meant that I’ve delayed the planned upgrades again.

    I'm hoping to have some time and resources to devote to building out !fnetworks instances before the expected wave of #Twitter refugees.

    A #Twitter whistleblower's report, while seemingly favoring #Musk's claims, seems to provide more detailed support to Twitter's claims instead.

    Even before this, I would not be surprised if Elon Musk's legal team told him to prepare to purchase Twitter or to pay them enough money to make the lawsuit go away. I would guess that's why https://nu.federati.net/url/287488 [www cnbc com] happened.

    In regard to the #Twitter vs #Musk legal action, Musk's claims about spam are irrelevant.

    > Either way, note that the supposed breach of this clause (which again, does not appear to have actually been breached) is what the attempted termination, and thus the lawsuit, is actually about. Musk has to show that he requested information that was necessary for completing the deal and that Twitter didn’t give it to him.

    > Twitter just has to show that (1) it gave him what he asked for and (2) anything it didn’t give him either didn’t exist or in Twitter’s estimation was either not necessary for consummating the deal or could be abused by Musk.

    > Note that “how much spam is on the platform” doesn’t even remotely play into any of this.
