Someone on Twitter said that Twitter has gone full Monty Python and I fully agree.
I feel sad for all that will be lost - the wit, the wisdom, the ability to reach out to pretty much anyone.

George Hotz is going to be doing a 12 week internship at Twitter to optimize their code. And if you know anything about Hotz, he doesn't involve himself with any bullshit, and most certainly knows what he is doing software wise. Twitter is far from lost.
Every single time they've continued tweeting with exactly the same frequency.
I also suspect they were a pretty bloated organisation and they needed to change things radically.
It will ruffle a lot of Elon hating feathers, but Twitter is going nowhere.
Hell, there are projects with a bus factor of one beneath all of our infrastructure (insert relevant xkcd here), and those are much simpler than such a monstrosity like twitter.
The idea of geohot pulling a 12-week “internship” to “optimise Twitter” to spite the hordes of “virtue signallers” is so hilariously self-referential and Pythonesque it’s fantastic.
They could write an entire Silicon Valley season out of this prompt.
The point was that anyone who is calling Twitter dead is virtue signaling.
Perhaps it will be a slow transition, just like Signal has gained more and more users in the past years.
I recently installed Signal and 8 people were on there.
I'm not sure how to count but I suspect 450+ are on WhatsApp.
The minorities can be very loud on this stuff. Most people don't care.
