I can’t believe I’m rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of “enemy of my enemy” ever.
Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won’t be, but it’s nice to imagine.
We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone. I’m rooting for The Zuck to win this battle and I’m rooting for Disney in Florida.
As much as Disney influenced my childhood, I definitely have my criticisms on their practices as a company.
Them fighting Ronny is not one of them. I was gonna make a pun on Desantis, but I drew up blank
Where’s the meme?
Why is the ape accusing the robot of cheating?
God’s, he’s really pathetic.
I wonder if this guy is interested in touring the Titanic wreck
I would hope that company stays in business, making the world a better place
That ship sank too, unfortunately.
The company shut down :(
One might say the company imploded
They were under too much pressure.
Can I interest you in a logitec joypad in this trying times? They are known to be sturdy.
Only used once?
Profits sank rapidly
Maybe he would be interested in going to space on his starship rocket, launched from his newly designed launch pad (by himself, no less, who needs rules and pesky engineers?)
If only…
Wait, didn’t he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?
Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)
I’m just over here on Mastodon just straight chilling.
I’m sure Meta’s lawyers are shaking in their boots lol
He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app
I bet they copied some code for mastodon and paid Gargron to not try to go after them. That would definitely give them a huge lift. Otherwise, I don’t see how they were able to quickly come up with this. Tech companies take forever to build stuff usually
Sorry, you lost this bet. It’s not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads
Turns out twitter isn’t hard to remake 😂
The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn’t hard for them to make.

Everyone who tried Ruby on Rails: can confirm.
Didn’t they switch away long ago because performance?
Not sure about Twitter internals, but doing a Twitter clone is one of the most popular Ruby on Rails noob exercise.
Anybody can make a twitter that can handle 100 users. The challenge is making worth at the scale of twitter
Sure, but the “scale of Twitter” becomes a more and more accessible goal by the day. elon fires everyone and intentionally breaks everything while only new feature releases are “new and exciting” paid tiers of horseshit that nobody wants. I’m not paying a penny for the privilege to yell into his sad, shrinking room with the remaining 17 nazis, 4200 corporate brands and 1.75 million bots that are left to make up its userbase.
Ah yeah, probably because Twitter was originally written in Ruby on Rails and it’s always nice to do exercises that feel like something real. But yeah, making things actually scale is pretty difficult and they felt they had to move from RoR to something else (Scala in this instance).
Of course, Elon Musk probably fired everyone responsible for making it scale properly, so at this point, stopping the growth of Twitter is probably good, because otherwise it might run into issues again.
As if to prove the point: Mastodon runs on Ruby on Rails :D
Is this real? Seriously?
What a loser.
Oh, do go on!
Says the illegal immigrant.
You have to be a huge piece of shit to get people rooting for the reptile that is Mark Zuckerberg.
Who told that zuck is different? :)
As if there’s any secret to Twitter that any person couldn’t figure out, we’re talking about 280 character messages. I hope they both just cancel each other out.

Facebook is significantly larger than Twitter, in the Billions (depressing). Guessing they have decent ideas how to scale an operation in the 10s of millions of people.
I wonder if Elon helped bolster engineering jobs in other companies. Like “See what happens when you get rid of the engineers you think you don’t need?”
Threads is bootstrapped off Instagram. People I know who tried it out like it because they don’t need to rebuild their network, it just copies the Instagram followers over so you start with all your follows and followers. Instagram also has over 2 billion users so they probably just tacked this on top of the existing Instagram infrastructure and called it a day. Instagram already supported comments so the backend for this probably required minimal changes.
