It’s not how “gardening leave” works, the agreement is that you are no longer employed by the company but can’t work for anyone else so that the information you hold in your head goes out of date, password resets, building entry codes and the like. The severance pay being held back is in case you go back on this deal. If he wants them back he has to rehire with a new contract.

Rod Hoofhearted posted:There's no way that stands up in court. It might not have been a severance in the legal sense. Twitter might have just paid them their wages for the coming 3 months period of notice in a lump sum and sent them home/suspended them. They would still be technically employed and could be called back at any time. You would have to pay back the wages if you didn't come in, cause you would be in breach of employment contract.

It reminds me of when Lowtax would come to the forums and any thread he posted in would become derailed into sucking him off E: woah I need caffeine page 139 and 149 are different, I thought I was on the last page.

It's been quaint seeing people flee Twitter and try to force propping up an alternative. Mastadon is currently leading, but what made Twitter Twitter wasn't the client, but that everyone was on it. Politicians, musicians, students etc. Even people with millions of Twitter followers only have a low hundred there, for now. This is kind of fascinating. Has any big web platform sank this quickly? Tumblr, MySpace, SA, etc. all have had pretty slow deaths. Like a soap opera seeing it happen so suddenly. I'm of the opinion Twitter was already kind of dying, anecdotally evidenced by going to a few events recently that a few years back were all over the platform with # and attendee's posting poo poo. This year the activity was noticeably more of a whimper. Could just be the events, suppose.

Twitter, in one week, lost any goodwill it had left and all of its credibility, mostly within the course of 72 hours.

So it kind of losss that edge As do local gov or crisis NGO's, tho I saw some scuttlebutt they may make a secondary verification thing for them. That's part of it, but a much larger issue is that Elon burned any skeptical optimism about the platform through the firings, and who was fired. Anyone watching that has lost faith that the platform, janky as it is/was will improve anytime soon. He's been pretty open about nickel and dimming it, bragging that people who pay money will have their stuff put up front... it's all pretty bad for the user.

I can get over how stupid it was for him to spook, then attack the big advertisers. That's the only actual revenue twitter had. Clearly its wasnt enough, but it was something Like, you're hanging off a cliff on a rope that's slowly loosening, so you cut the rope and plan to design and build a parachute before you hit the ground.

I have used mastodon before (mastodon.sdf.org) - which servers are you on? uh i just signed up with some general server (@toot.community) but people like ankit panda, pwnallthethings, etc etc are easy to search for or may have posted on twitter about it, you can follow anyone on any server. then on the pc (didn't work on my phone for some reason) you can go to their profile and click on 'following' and see that list and find more people there. sometimes if someone's on a different server it makes you jump through a hoop to follow them but it does work i see a bunch of them are on @mastodon.social or @infosec.exchange fwiw
