it all mirrors the Twitter takeover (fetishizing "hardcore coders", micromanagement, randomly breaking or cancelling things), so this might just be how Elon Musk approaches things.
From images routinely failing to load, to the current mess of logins that is the dualistic nature of x.com vs twitter.com (where which accts appear logged in fluctuates constantly), to my favorite bug, where it's always stuck in dark mode in mobile browsers...
And that's just technologically. Firing moderators, letting neonazis run rampant, and driving away advertisers and non-nazis...
Honestly, they might as well have brought back the Fail Whale.
But as always you need to curate the ones you follow to get a "for you" that's interesting.
Sure, but letting neo-nazis run rampant is not just a problem of my personal curation, but a society-wide issue.
Overall though I’d expect much worse problems to occur from firing the majority of a workforce. If that had happened at my workplace there’d be lots of data loss, downtime and show stopping bugs. Because the work people do is essential to the product and although we have some level of redundancy to reduce key man risk, that wouldn’t work if 80% of people left.
