@evan this is horrifying

TWITTER HAS FINALLY BROKEN

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Facebook and Instagram went down and it caused a cascade and now Twitter is down.

@whetstone @Madhur definitely same, I'm not trying to judge, I just know from personal experience in big law that it's so easy to blur those lines when you are sitting on that side of the desk. such brilliant advice from @yoyoel, which is entirely unsurprising.

I can't honestly understand how so many good people stayed to work there. Doesn't it of necessity require some sort of self-delusion? I suppose we all delude ourselves in our own ways, I'm certainly not immune.

@Madhur that makes sense, it's just that it seems like a slow walk that quickly leads to a bad place

Where do you go when you're feeling too wholesome for Twitter but too spicy for Mastodon? ?

here are my initial thoughts on the norm-busting, hoop-jumping, inequity-maximizing journey Musk has sent the former execs on, in search of what is owed to them

god help me I have a lot to say about the process of having a social media platform upended and played with like a toy thing (technically I suppose, toyed with like a play thing) but I also feel like everyone is sick of talking about it, even though we are all living through this.

where are my meta process processors who have the same need as I do to hash things out while they happen ?

(speaking of hashing, I'm back to add hashtags #TheChanceryDaily and #TwitterMigration to this post)

like, can we please hash out all of the moral and philosophical implications and underpinnings of it all like we’re back in grad school in a 700-level philosophy & ethics course spending the weekend deconstructing Derrida because I need that ngl

I just have this dramatic need not to simply allow this to happen, to be forced without meaningful discussion to deal with the implications of one man's whims. It's an emotional imperative that I'm sure doesn't make sense in some ways—as people have rightly pointed out, I bend the knee albeit with side-eye in limited uses of other things that solely enrich people who operate on their whims. dialectic.

I want to be intellectually honest about it all, but it's hard to do alone or with only bad faith actors pretending to dialogue (bUt He iS geTTinG riD of cHilD poRn - ARE YOU PRO CHILD PORN, ffs no, for the record, NO). but part of what made Twitter amazing was the dialectic you could have in real time with all sorts of people (I still argue this was the most common instance of the quote-tweet that I saw, although I understand that other, more nefarious uses existed).

I'm mourning for something that is lost, I know, and over the past several months, I've gotten very accustomed to processing everything that was happening about Twitter, on Twitter. And now I'm having an emotional response to what Twitter is becoming, and I know all my @macaw.social peeps can understand, but it's just so much, so meta, and the tool that I had at my handy disposal for handling moments like this (a long, deep, cathartic tweet thread) now just feels wrong.
