Wonder if he fired the people who only stuck around with the Twitter Hardcore stuff because Twitter was sponsoring their work visas i.e. they couldn't really quit if they wanted to

Hmmmm, I hate think Elon Musk sucks, but I also think Apple is a bad company.... really hoping this somehow ends up hurting both of them.

I remember Epic Games v. Apple managed to achieve that, with the judge ruling in favor of Epic on some points but not on others

Another female CEO that's been rumored is former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer (who was CEO at Yahoo back when they bought Tumblr)

edit: while that would be funny, seems like the gal the thread is talking about is more likely

You guys know that you can set discord servers to only ping you when you're personally @'d, right? It's dumb that that's not the default and you have to manually set it for each server but still

just a heads up: vxtwitter doesn't embed on SA (maybe you copypasted something off of discord, which is where it does embed), while normal twitter still embeds on SA

one thing I'm seeing that'll probably prevent a chunk of potentiality twitter to threads migrations is the fact that threads doesn't allow nsfw stuff

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if twitter's Actual Final Death involves the site banning nsfw stuff for some reason (apple throws its weight around in response to twitter's vastly reduced clout?)

a few days ago I went "waitaminute, a decent chunk of the people on twitter that I keep up with I also keep up with on tumblr/cohost" and so uninstalled the app and only really check things out on my nsfw alt. To my horror tho when I checked out my feed on said alt, I discovered that my "following" feed is now no longer chronological.

from the sounds of it Muting is gonna stick around but that's still not ideal (people with huge blocklists would have to recreate mute lists from the ground up, people you muted can still follow you and see your page, etc)

you know I'm surprised that no one in the thread has brought up the drama that the CEO of Tumblr's parent company, Matt Mullenweg (co-creator of WordPress) got caught up in.

There's also a bit more of a recent thing where Tumblr announced partnering up with Midjourney, and users had to opt out of having their posts being used instead of it being an opt in thing. These factors are also adjacent to the cohost stuff because it caused a lot of people to migrate to cohost (which is honestly more of a tumblr alternative than a twitter alternative)

and the most important detail here is the straw that broke the camel's back for predstrogen was that her perfectly sfw before/after transition timeline selfies where flagged as nsfw (which has happened to a lot of tumblr users in the past few years). Also early in the drama a lot of accounts speaking out against what was happening with her were straight up getting DMs from Matt trying to explain himself and some of them were also getting nuked
