Ghost_MH Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 2 minutes ago, Jason said: The Twitter app's cache will just keep growing, making it increasingly slow, and eventually you have to nuke the cache to get the performance back. This gets annoying since you wind up having to log back into your accounts and set some settings like your timeline mode (curated or chronological) back. But otherwise yeah it's fine. Ah, so only noticeable if you REALLY use Twitter. I never spent more than a few minutes at a time, so I guess this never came up with me. That, however, makes Elon's complaint make even less sense, but I had always assumed he didn't really know what he was talking about here.

CitizenVectron Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So, important question: What happens to Musk when Twitter just stops running/existing? What consequences does he face? Can he squirm out of owing billions of dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the team that maintains Twitter’s core system libraries that every engineer at the company uses is gone after Thursday. “You cannot run Twitter without this team,” the employee said.

Looking at the foreign government financing those are certainly governments with an interest in killing an easy decentralized means for people to get the word out about things.

I don’t use Android anymore but I never had a problem with Twitter on it On desktop, you can easily view the parent of a reply/subthread, but it's difficult to do so on mobile. There are a few other reasons why the mobile app sucks, but that's the one that annoys me the most. Also, classic forum layouts (chronological), like what D1P uses, is better than the layout Reddit uses in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shittiness of going through big Twitter threads isn't unique to the Twitter app. I've said before that they need reddit-style expanding comment trees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom has the same feeling with everything she keeps seeing/reading. Someone has to take over it if he burns everything to the ground, because they mentioned it’s essentially a public safety service for many governments around the world. Plus what has been happening in Ukraine and everything we see posted update wise is mostly because of Twitter. He wouldn’t do this to fuck Ukraine and help Russia. . . . right???

mclumber1 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The reason Elon can get SpaceX employees to work 60 or 70 hours a week is because they have a personal passion for Space and largely align with Musk on the goals of SpaceX. I don't think the same can be said for Twitter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
