A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Who in their right mind has looked at Twitter these past few months and thought ‘wow, great, let me copy that!’?

Unfortunately probably a lot of CEOs realizing they can make drastic cost cutting and policy moves and get away with it. And sadly looks like it’s working.

So far it doesn't look like he's getting away with it. Ad revenue is down 60% compared to last year, it doesn't look like there is enough revenue from subscriptions to make up for that, and they're being evicted from one of their offices.

No, but the users still keep using it and the bigger advertisers are coming back. It’ll get sold off but love on. Too many people unwilling to let go.
