I guess they pulled Twitter Blue completely now, probably temporarily while they try to get some kind of handle on this complete mess. Still not a great idea to have people pay their money and then immediately pull the feature. Maybe Elon should've spent more than a single toilet session thinking about this and then maybe test it a bit first

lol apparently they pulled it overnight?

what the gently caress is he talking about

even in his own moon logic if he makes checkmarks available for 8 dollars, checkmarks no longer represent accurate journalism. the checkmark doesnt have magic powers. its just a jpg. people trust the checkmark because it says 'this person is of public notice or works for a company that has public trust.' if you can just buy one, the checkmark no longer has any weight.

i literally do not understand what he expects to happen

he's really dumb, op

I keep thinking about how Twitter’s SSL certificate expires in less than a month. There is a good chance that the person or persons responsible for renewing certificates already left. I wonder if they left behind any sort of documentation or set up alerts or reminders so they remember to renew it.

I hope they didn’t.

It seems like the down detector thing is probably just people having fun. That site generates “down” reports just from users clicking a button to report an outage.

I’m sure things WILL go down soon, but I don’t think the site is actively sinking yet.

I bet the firings from the code review were for using the wrong number of spaces, or tabs for indents. Elon seems like that kind of prick.

Ie entirely superficial and easily changed items

I don’t think they’re even putting that much thought into it.

One senior engineer was fired for the results of his code review, but he was never even asked to do one.
