Access Revoked. I wish my fellow tweeps who are on the 2.0 ride the best of luck and I truly hope *y’all* succeed. @srw @cl0udmaker - thanks for this last year. We built something special. – at Lafayette, CO

In other news I’m @kentikinc now and probably won’t open this app again for a while.

Haven’t opened the bird app in a week. Took 20s to load “for you” and my “recent tweet” rec is from 3 days ago.

And that does it for me. Moving to Mastodon I guess after 15 years of Tweeting 😢

.@elonmusk Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community. They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.

Otters AND ML!?! This is the content I want.
If you last checked in on AI image makers a month ago & thought “that is a fun toy, but is far from useful…” Well, in just the last week or so two of the major AI systems updated. You can now generate a solid image in one try. For example, “otter on a plane using wifi” 1st try:

Being an #ally isn’t being a judgy hall monitor. Misogyny isn’t funny. Rape culture memes are not funny. Racist tropes are not funny. Antisemitism isn’t funny. Anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric isn’t funny. Pushing back on these makes space for every one to be a part of Twitter.
Hope all judgy hall monitors stay on other platforms – please, I’m begging u

Poll Thoughts: 1) No Tweep I’ve met would maliciously harm the product no matter how egregious the situation. We all respect our users too much for that. 2) I feel for what’s left of my InfoSec Tweeps. People clearly don’t know the attacks Twitter faces.
PREDICTIONS THREAD: Twitter Doomposting Edition "Do you think Twitter will die this week?" A lot of people have asked me that in the last 48 hours. And my answer is a pretty hard *no*, for many reasons. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely. With that said...

I thought about deleting these tweets as it’s a known edge case, but I think the discussion by really knowledgeable ex-Tweeps is valuable for people to see. Twitter has (at least) hundreds of these edge cases and that’s how something simple becomes complex quickly.

After Trump elevated anti-immigrant & anti-Latino rhetoric, we had the deadliest anti-Latino shooting in modern history. After anti-Asian hate w/COVID, Atlanta. Tree of life. Emanuel AME. Buffalo. And now after an anti-LGBT+ campaign, Colorado Springs. Connect the dots, @GOP.

A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?

We dug up and stored our Dahlia Tubers today. In early spring we will split them and have even more of these amazing flowers ☺️

This is the epitome of Twitter 1.0 and no amount of money or hubris will ever be able to destroy it. The story behind the #LoveWhereYouWork hashtag. 💙 Tweeps, our bond is unbreakable. 💙 #LoveWhereYouWorked #OneTeam

The misogynists in the replies can Fuck All The Away Off. I can’t believe we’re still doing this as an industry. My two teams at Twitter were LESS THAN 50% men. These were the best teams I’ve ever worked on in 20 yrs in the industry. Diversity makes our work better. – at Lafayette, CO
There is only 1 woman I can see in this entire group. All my teams at twitter were about half women. It was the first time in my career that I looked around and saw people like me. Women with amazing careers I could look up to. I expected that to be gone but.. still hurts…
