$220 billion man who just fired 3700 Americans needs your $8 to turn a profit. Can you spare the price of one cup of coffee to help a billionaire sell your free speech back to you?

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

since twitter won't have an HR department you can just lie about having worked there now. you did a six year stint in whatever area helps you get the job you're applying for. nobody can stop you

Imagine the things @elonmusk could help change in the world if he actually gave a shit about humanity.

Dear @elonmusk, thank you for allowing people to see that there is something even more badly run than the UK. xx #RIPTwitter #Twittershutdown

And I too was laid off from Twitter today with no notice. I was the lead software engineer responsible for the feature where you're reading a tweet and the screen automatically refreshes and you never see that tweet ever again. Wish me luck.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices. Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

Alex Cohen (@anothercohen)Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:42 GMT

when twitter goes down, I recommend you spend the time you'd otherwise spend wandering aimlessly, instead reading How Complex Systems Fail, Seeing Like a State, The Field Guide to Human Error, How to Kill a City, and a lot more but those are the most widely accessible

Nire Bryce (@NireBryce)Fri, 18 Nov 2022 08:25 GMT

Decided to request my Twitter archive again, and when choosing the SMS way to receive the code, I'm told that I've exceeded the number of messages. Not that I couldn't get my archive (could receive the code via email)... it's that Twitter exhausted their SMS allowance. 🍿🔥

The world’s richest man swallowed the largest civilian reporting tool in history because his plan for a centuries-long empire of infinite IVF babies and cars that only kind of do what they say do was being exposed. That probably shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

I felt a great disturbance in the bird, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

For some people this is a collapse of infrastructure. Social infrastructure, of course, in obvious ways, but also organizing infrastructure and survival and care infrastructure. Remember: A billionaire is doing this bc he does not like who was allowed to build influence on here.

I think something is having an outage because my Twitter timeline is in the chronological order even though I'm opted in to see the top tweets 😁

After Elon Musk, the next 3 top shareholders in Twitter are: Blackrock, Vanguard and SSgA. They are also the top 3 shareholders in the world's largest arms company, Lockheed Martin. Strange idiosyncrasies and probable incompetence aside, it's a big club; is Musk really in it?

Lowkey (@Lowkey0nline)Fri, 18 Nov 2022 10:04 GMT

This is the sad part. The way we interact on here is completely different than any other app. Even if you end up following each other on insta or tiktok it’s just not the same level of communication.

Good to hear. Having no outages means there will never be outages, no new capacity issues, no new cascading failures, no bad pushes, nothing. We will freeze in time and my tweets will go into /dev/null. I wished I was smart enough to come up with this idea at work.

Post details

Twitter still seems to be operating fine with...checks notes... 70% fewer employees in a week. If the rumors hold true it will be down 88% since acquisition by Monday. My bet is the site stays up.

Elon is the worlds wealthiest man, w the ability to pull in software engineers and ad constructs from his other companies. If he would have gotten away with this successfully: you bet other founders would have followed, treating their staff like this. Treat people with respect.

Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Fri, 18 Nov 2022 07:09 GMT

The one positive outcome of what happened at Twitter is we see what happens when you treat employees with contempt and disrespect. Don’t communicate with them, fire half, change working conditions with no notice, fire those who criticise you, then give them an ultimatum.
