Before Musk jumped in there was a decent design culture with a lot of talent.
Musk fired most of the design squad and killed the culture.
Basically Zoe Quinn (dev of Depression Quest) accused a co-worker of sexual harassment through a post on Twitter (she didn't even go to the police mind you). Next day guy is fired, a lot of articles pop up about it almost immediately and the guy commits suicide a few days later. Nobody even took t...Read more
Is it a pejorative now? 🤣 https://reason.com/2019/03/11/learn-to-code-twitter-harassment-ross/
Last week Twitter took a "moral" stand against misinformation and hate speech by fact checking Trump's tweets. Today Donald posted misinformation and harassment about a 75 year old dude beaten up by police. No fact check from Twitter. What's the deal?
Within hours of Elon walking into Twitter HQ with his sink, I’ve saw so many complaints from people who said they could “detect the change to Twitter” already and that it was worse. They claimed to see more hate and more policy violations. My BS detector went way off because I find it very difficult...Read more

I wish there was someone from Twitter that could reasonably review my ban or give me direction. 15 years on Twitter and made 1 bad comment. Honestly, I don't think it was that bad but they decided to permanently ban me. There was a mid-20s white guy punching an elderly minority person. I said, "Why...Read more
Free speech is free. Damn the terms of service . Twitter had been down this path before and it didn’t go well. The social platform has been down this road before, and it didn’t end well. A decade ago, a Twitter executive dubbed the company “the free speech wing of the free speech party” to unders...Read more
In one video, Owens (who is black) remarks to a black police officer that it is "bizarre" to her that "there are a bunch of white people saying 'no racists,' or 'no good cops,' when every single cop here is black." Interesting that antifa twitter touts harassing Kirk but is mum about it's harassmen...Read more
Sure it has its fair share of cringe but it’s tolerable and it gets the job done. We don’t have all the PR issues like Facebook, instagram, TikTok, twitter, etc. You go on the platform and you face zero harassment. You want a job? Jump on LinkedIn. Want to network with REAL people? Get on LinkedIn....Read more
