#twitter is a shitshow

[amandaoftherosemire]

I saw that asshole walking in the door with a sink and I said to myself, "I will not patronize the business of a man that bad at fucking puns." I deleted all of my accounts that day.

I have not yet regretted that decision. As a matter of fact, every decision that shitty-pun-making apartheid beneficiary has made has only served to make me feel good about my ability to spot and avoid a shitshow.

A website I mainly used is once again shitting itself so now I come crawling back to this site. I just want a secure place to share my art man

I love that so many of Elon Musk’s children have betrayed him by being not bigoted and realizing he’s full of shit. But my favorite part is that this pattern extends to his AI that shoots down conspiracies that he supports.

Such a brilliant move by Elon Musk to get celebrities to promote Twitter Blue by forcing them to say they do not want Twitter Blue.

Asterism book cameeeeeee <3

Since Orion is a journalist in this AU there are a few instances where his newspaper articles and blog posts are shown, and my friend and I loving formatted all the sections to imitate websites and whatnot down to sharing buttons and comment sections. Def one of the most hilarious parts of the book imo, I love them sm. Thank you best friend [Name Redacted] for writing this book for me, I love it sooooo much! You *get* Orion like noone else ;w;

Today in: The Death of Twitter

Here's the rundown:

Twitter had its employees sign forced-arbitration agreements

Twitter offered generous severance/benefits payouts to people they fired

Musk bought the company and initiated mass layoffs

Former employees allege they were given the axe for illegal discriminatory reasons [link]

Musk reneges on promised severance/benefits [link] [link]

Employees file a class-action lawsuit in court, it gets dismissed because of the arbitration agreement [link]

Almost TWO THOUSAND employees file arbitration claims since they can't sue in court. Twitter's law firm says they'll drown in paperwork from all the arbitration cases [link]*

Which brings us to today:

Twitter refuses to pay for arbitration services (as required by the arbitration agreements signed by employees)

Toss arbitration costs onto the pile of things that Twitter can't afford: their rent, their cloud services, their loan interest payments…

*In a class-action lawsuit, all the proceedings, depositions, document searches, etc, get combined and streamlined. The legal fees are cheaper. Arbitration cases cannot be combined, so all those depositions and paperwork have to be redone for every case. People have compared mass-arbitration filing to a DDoS attack.
