I have no idea what the scam actually is, all I know is the site feels more washed than ever. Feels like there's no semblance of moderation left. The site just feels gross now. I had built a community of pharmacist friends and used it for some urbanism content but now I don’t even visit because it’s just spam ads, bots, and nasties saying the quiet parts out loud. It’s a shame, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely truth that large companies at some point spend a ton of money on middle management, corporate infrastructure, etc., that is not all completely necessary. But if you wanna start carving that out you need to do it strategically which takes time, money, and skill to do. Elon is a moron so he walked into the OR without scrubbing up, took a shit in the sterile field, cut the patient open with a weed whacker, and started taking out organs he thought were useless based on vibes. Now the kidneys he removed are inside other patients and he's going to ask for them back. Good luck motherfucker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a key part. Musk must have forced many of these people to find new jobs and settle into a new position quicker than they might have had they actually received their severance.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino says company should be ‘global town square’ - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Linda Yaccarino says Twitter’s goal is to be the “world’s most accurate real-time information source.” Quote Building Twitter 2.0 Together Hello Twitter! People keep asking me: Why Twitter? So, I’ll tell you. From space exploration to electric vehicles, Elon knew these industries needed transformation, so he did it. More recently it has become increasingly clear that the global town square needs transformation—to drive civilization forward through the unfiltered exchange of information and open dialogue about the things that matter most to us. Have you ever been talking with someone particularly insightful and thought, You’re brilliant—everybody should get the chance to hear this. Or, I’m learning so much from you—can we do this again? Or maybe it’s as simple as, You should have the freedom to speak your mind. We all should. Enter Twitter 2.0. Twitter is on a mission to become the world’s most accurate real-time information source and a global town square for communication. We’re on the precipice of making history—and that’s not an empty promise. That’s OUR reality. When you start by wrapping your arms around this powerful vision, literally everything is possible. You have to genuinely believe—and work hard for that belief. And in this moment of complete reinvention, we have the opportunity to reach across aisles, create new partnerships, celebrate new voices, and build something together that can change the world. And from what I can tell so far, you’re built for this. The success of Twitter 2.0 is all of our responsibility. We need to think big. We need to transform. We need to do it all together. And we can do it all by starting from first principles – questioning our assumptions and building something new from the ground up. It’s rare to have the chance to put a new future into the hands of every person, partner, and creator on the planet. That’s exactly why I’m here – with all of YOU. So, let’s dig our heels in (4 inches or flat!) and build Twitter 2.0 together. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
