Happy thought for the last day of 2022: if your year was shitty, and you’re not feeling like things will be better next year:

At least you’re not working for Elon Musk.

Well, the birdshit is *really* starting to fly at the Bird’s nest, according to @caseynewton here: https://www.platformer.news/p/inside-the-twitter-meltdown

Sounds like the Chief Bird is having a severe case of shitting the nest… #slowclap #twittercalypse #twittermeltdown

@iainmacl aye, agree. I keep wondering if he’s out of his rocker already or preparing for another grift like going to beg for money from congress because tesla and/or spacex are dying after his #TwitterCalypse.

#introduction
In face of #twittercalypse I followed people to this network, and oh, boy do I like it!
I study #socialscience, take #pictures, live in #scotland (obv) and love #Royksöp. I also happen to work for the design agency. #socialist, #feminist and #fuckcars enthusiast.

From an engineering point-of-view, I'm really, really curious how a platform the size of Twitter continues to operate if really 50% of staff are more or less immediately laid off. Is enough automated that it will continue running? Is it auto-healing? Will things go haywire?

From a human point of view: it's horrible watching how the company's boss is treating people. People do matter.
