Elon is scaring off all the liberals, why should Trump care if he posts the same poo poo to his followers on Truth or Twitter?

Chuds are only in it to own the libs. Hard to do if there are no libs.

Trump has zero reason to come back to Twitter. His platform might actually survive Twitter now, something that was literally considered a punchline a few weeks ago before Elon took over.

He’s already said on several occasions he wouldn’t be back and even he knows coming back would make him, and his platform, look weak. Especially if it’s by the grace of Elon frigging musk. Only way to get him back would involve begging so he’d be the big Alpha tough guy for his base.

Anyone with the sense to retain and listen to senior staff could run Twitter. You'd have to be a colossal dumbshit to gently caress up as badly as Elon is doing; Lowtax might be able to pull off something close, but Jeffrey or literally any poster ITT could at least keep twitter chuggin' along its previous trajectory.

Even me?!?!?!?!?

What's funny is that if Elon had just brought back Trump's account day one and claimed freeze peach, Trump probably would taken the bait and started posting even though that site is dying. Having Trump on there probably could have stopped the bleeding because it'll retain his cult following on the site, as well as journalists wanting to keep up to date on the latest dumb thing he said. Not to mention all the people who are addicted to raging at him and making snarky comments in his replies.
Having Trump on the site would upgrade the situation from a dumpster fire to a grease fire, which is not much better but at least it lasts longer. Instead Elon had to leave it up to democracy and we all know how much Trump hates that poo poo, so he fumbled the ball. :lol:

This was the model for Counter-Strike source servers. Regular players could pay a monthly fee to be one of the admins, and they were allowed to gently caress with the server through the console commands in order to kick and ban people at their discretion. Perhaps people would pay in order to have their own isolated community instances within Twitter guided by their paid-for right to rule. For years other websites have foolishly used algorithms in order to create echo chambers, when they could have charged users for the privilege to do it themselves.

Edit: tldr of course people will pay to power trip, look how much Elon paid

Well, they're confusing Hollywood accounting with profitability as well. From what I understand, once a movie starts making money they start finding ways to make it unprofitable by inflating costs through mechanisms like transfer pricing to gently caress over everyone who signed %age gross contracts (and the tax man).

i.e. Movies are far more likely to pump up their costs than hide them away. But I guess Sony are woke now so they've forgotten the basic principles of accounting and are hyped to pay unwanted tax just to defend their reputation.

this is sad for all parties because they could have been doing anything else on friday night and it would be a better use of their time. like watch a movie, work on your own poo poo, hang out with friends. anything but sitting in the office on a friday night trying to draw out diagrams for a billionaire who didn't want to learn and just haphazardly came in and destroyed almost everything of value.

the worst part is: this was them spending a friday night after all their other coworkers got fired, trying to figure out how everything works. did they get every single thing? i doubt it, because there are systems with 0 engineers, so its just some other team with previous knowledge just going, "oh yeah we use gizmoduck", and drawing a box and pointing their system to it.

Searching around you figure out:
Manhattan = real-time, multi-tenant distributed database for Twitter scale (2014)
https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2014/manhattan-our-real-time-multi-tenant-distributed-database-for-twitter-scale
Gizmoduck = "Gizmoduck, the user store at twitter is backed by memcache, and some disk-based storage behind the cache." (2013)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6106003
Earlybird = Part of their Twitter Search Engine (2011)
https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2011/the-engineering-behind-twitter-s-new-search-experience

Okay, so what happened to Zipkin: https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin which is their distributed tracing system? I do not see it written there and there's not many other codewords left to fill that in.

Where is their deployment of Druid, an open source columnar database they use for real time analytics? (they didn't write it but its heavily used) https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2022/powering-real-time-data-analytics-with-druid-at-twitter

Hadoop Cluster (not written at Twitter)? They were definitely still using Hadoop and also actually working with Google in their Cloud Platform GCP (equivalent to AWS)
https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2022/scaling-data-access-by-moving-an-exabyte-of-data-to-google-cloud

Even if this was a general overview... that looks entirely too small. There is no telemetry anywhere.

From a Government bureaucracy/project management perspective, this is the kind of diagram you get from a project team one or two weeks into their planning. You wouldn't even release an initial round of design funding until about 3-4 months from now when they provided some formal architecture documents. If they were looking for an enormous sack of money to build this system, I'd be telling them they were about 18 months away from having their business case and design done.

I think Trump would appreciate more coverage to post on both his and Twitter’s platform simultaneously. It might even be Twitter’s saving grace (sadly). Conspiracy theory: Elon’s allowing him because it’s the only thing to keep enough people using it to see the crazy tweets Trump will say.

Edit, never mind!
