Current Events > Twitter has been amazing >_> I'm glad it's going down in flames like this

(+) Yeah! (+)

All this trolling from various fake people/companies has been hilarious! It's like the old wild west internet all over again.

Twitter is dying
Metaverse is dying

We live in the best timeline

Do you think the replacements to sites that are used by basically everybody will be more or less insular?

Feel like you just don't understand what is happening.

Hope Gamefaqs.Gamespot.Fandom.Com is next on the list of major social media sites to crash.

Always a chance that groups give up building a new community from scratch after being defeated.

They will always exist, but over time they go away more and more.

I'm sure they'll find new jobs engineering the next social media pariah that extinguishes society all the same.

Twitter has never been more fun. It's not even close to failing.

It's gonna fail, but it's failing with the loudest bang possible at least

Fair, next.

Good riddance to that echo-chamber.

Oh no people who make 6 figures that spend all day on tiktok or going around the office talking about how good the cappuccino today is lost their jobs. Same goes for Twitter junkies that go around creating clickbait by spreading misinformation paid for by internet tabloid media. They need to go too.

With the amount of money he spent it would have been cheaper to just pay for the unions demands without any counter offers.

Its funny because Reddit called this a long time ago, so essentially yes they can claim; yay we did it Reddit

hope gamefaqs.gamespot.com is next tbh

The fact that people seriously believe anything is happening to twitter is interesting.

it's literally the exact same as its always been.

Same with Twitter.

I personally dont want Twitter to go away. Its where I can follow artists, space telescopes, indie devs, cute animals, and scientist all in the same place.

It ain't about free speech either. Is it really about owning the libs and thinking he's this ultimate funny guy?

i don't get the logic of being happy when something like this happens. people lost jobs, a social fixture is falling apart, who knows what else might happen. it's a bad thing.

Kinda disappointed that everyone hasnt gotten together to make their avatars that one picture Musk wants buried.

I'm sure they'll find jobs engineering the next social media cancer for society. That Blue Sky project is gonna scoop up all those guys

Previous Twitter owners are at fault for selling the company to a bad faith actor in the name of the almighty $.

It's about enabling right-wing misinformation to put fascists in power.

The only benefit that so many people are clueless about this is that many people think it's lulzy to just troll the new verification system. But to the extent which this further knocks ad revenue out this ends up beneficial. Making Twitter collapse after a Musk take over isn't just fucking with an out of touch tech dude, it's possibly necessary to prevent a fascist take over of the world's governments.

neither of these really makes it funny or a good thing though. just because you personally don't like social media it doesn't mean you should be happy to see something like twitter go through the wringer like this, something that a lot of other people valued. idk. it just seems weird that people are treating this like some kind of fun event where everyone is having a great time. not just in this topic either... maybe it's just me being a fuddy duddy

I had this kind of thing happen at one of my old jobs. I worked at a company named Outernet. About a month after I started, a company named One Source Networks bought them out. It was a bit of a strange transition, but things went OK. Then about a couple years later, GTT Communications bought One Source Networks. This was October of 2015. The CEO of One Source Networks didn't want to sell, but he was out-voted by others on the board.

GTT Communications was fucking terrible. They would buy a new company every quarter, cut said company in half, and then lay off some of their own employees. This isn't sustainable in the slightest. By the time they bought OSN, they were already at the point where they had products they didn't know how to support because everyone who did support them either quit or got fired or laid off. Their CEO at the time was a snake as well. They would have all-hands meetings every 2 weeks or so I think and the dude would just lie about stuff. A few months after they bought OSN, he said they had fully integrated OSN's network into theirs. That was a flat out lie. The senior network engineer from OSN was in the meeting, and we all looked at him when he said that. He just shook his head and shrugged.

I was already in the process of getting my CCNP Route/Switch certification for the first time, but GTT was so bad that I started rushing through the process. I had to pass 3 exams to get it (ROUTE, SWITCH, and TSHOOT). It took me about 4 months to study and pass CCNP Route, but I had done that before the GTT thing. Then we had to move to the GTT office . I read the CCNP Switch book in like 2 months and passed the exam. The TSHOOT book was like 960 pages. I read a bit of it and realized at least a large portion of it was review of ROUTE and SWITCH stuff. So I just said fuck it and took the exam. I failed it by 10 points because I ran out of time. I took it again the following week and passed. Within 30 days of that, I had two job offers to get out of there, and I jumped at the one with higher pay.

GTT in 2016 was the 4th largest IP backbone provider in the world. They've since gone through a class action lawsuit and they've sold off their entire IP backbone to go back to just being a managed services company.

Sadly that is how corporate America mostly works.

It is no longer about good products or even good services.

Thank goodness. Watching the news and having them do a segment on a celebrity tweet or some other random tweet was the most mind-numbing thing I watched.

It has to at least be a little about the money since dude has been bitching nonstop since he bought it.

The people "celebrating" this are people who could never have an audience or even group of friends to make Twitter worth using.

It makes sense, though it's in vain since the main issue of them being socially inept remains regardless of what happens to any social media app.
