The game was to capture and monopolize online discussion and then you can ratchet up the poo poo knob and people won't have anywhere to jump ship to. I guess people are gonna find out if "nothing" is a better ship to jump to.

I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office.

The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes...

I was wondering what went into "reputation score", and it's apparently just how many times someone gets reported. So twitter was preventing people who were reported a lot from trending. Sounds useful to me? Maybe not very sophisticated but practical, and not exactly a shadowban. Could have been used as a stop-gap measure while they were developing something better.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
