I still feel Twitter is very overstaffed. They don't develop anything, don't really sell anything, they've just maintained the one app for 10 years. That should be a 500-800 person company, I've no idea why they needed 7,000 people to begin with. Musk's plan so far seems to be...
1. Reduce costs (people)
2. Improve revenue (subscription service)
3. Company will become profitable and his investment will start generating a return.

This. Twitter is a caged animal, it’s a very fine balancing act keep all aspects safe, laying off 75% staff may work financially in the short term but certainly won’t longer term

So if they couldn't manage it with 8000 your solution is to reduce that amount by 90% Wacko
It would damage this forums' reputation

I keep getting added to these random conversations with these Asian folks. I don't even read it - just delete it.

Twitter is toxic anyway.

Twitter has been in serious decline for a while now. Since Musk took over it’s just a cesspit of racism, homophobia and transphobia.

The last couple of days has ramped this up by multiples. Legacy blue ticks are removed and all I can see are posts from Twitter blue w**kers. I just block every twitter blue account I come across. 

I hate it but I still cannot help looking at it a few times a day. I think in a year or two it will cease to exist.

It always has been a cesspit. If you stay on the 'Following' tab and not the 'For you' tab, it's much better. I just follow football accounts and not many of them so my feed is just football related. I wouldn't even look at comments.

It's the most toxic platform of social media.

Zero accountability. Faceless racists, bigots, trolls, you name it.

I'm still on it every day though LOLCool

If you keep seeing sh*te you don't like, block the accounts and let the algorithm do the rest. I used keep getting NBA tweets  showing up and after blocking a few of the accounts, I don't see anything.

I've blocked every advertiser I see on there and its at the point now they are looking like AI generated companies LOL

Nile Garnder keeps popping up on my the horrible little sewer rat.

Loads of fake Loyalist accounts too. You'd want to see some of the absolutely laughable theories they come up with.

Elon has turned Twitter into a farce. He hasn't got a clue what he's doing. Blue checkmarks are now just a way to identify weird Elon Musk fanboys.

I see former CEO Jack Dorsey has launched a twitter alternative called Bluesky, hopefully it can provide some serious competition.
