you don't just lay off entire teams like they're replaceable cogs. like lay off the wrong person on the team and you might lose years of company knowledge about how any of the systems work. like today's release of the ios version not being time released was probably because the release engineer they let go knew which settings to turn on to gate the release.

not surprising at all that people are being called back.

no technically this did not trigger the WARN act, your honor, because I did so in such a clumsy manner and ultimately I did have to rehire a specific workforce necessary for operations *trails off into mumbling damnits*

He’s gonna need all the coders he can to work on this revolutionary idea to disrupt the micro blogging ecosphere! Long posts! loving genius.

Was the notes screenshot thing really such an issue? I’ve seen it a few times but it barely registers. Kinda feels like this defeats the entire point of Twitter honestly, the whole appeal is brevity. There’s way better options for long posts than frigging Twitter. I rarely even read tweet threads because it’s tedious and the whole timeline thing doesn’t lend itself to it.

Edit: wait it’s gonna be an attachment? That’s even worse. So you still have to click through to read the rest of the post?

Whoever it was in here who said right-wingers don't want their own social media platform and they just want a place to own the libs is completely right. They have gab and Truth social and it's not like anyone else wants to be on those so they have to still get their kicks from Twitter. Imagine trying to be a part of 2 or 3 different social media sites at a time. This dying old forum is all I can handle.

Man I just can't imagine the potential security implications if you are inviting aggrieved ex-employees back who still have very little in the way of actual security. If they are given really generous contracts to come back maybe it would be ok but still, lol at what they could slip in there.
