Examples:
- Celebrity accounts
- NPR
They all quit over petty disputes with Elon Musk's policies.
But any mature, sensible, or business savvy person would find a way, and work within their constraints.
Why did they fold so easily?
My theories:
- They are all run by inexperienced people who can't handle the smallest bit of challenges in the workplace. Maybe managing a Twitter account is their first job.
- They are all heavily influenced by FBI, and CIA. They are encouraged to just quit.
- They are all managed by the same firm who lacks the man-power to play a chess game with Elon. (Any kind of work that's as complex as chess is too much brain power for them).
- Twitter or a white hat proposed a plea bargain that requires quitting Twitter.
Obviously we hope it's the last option. 🤣. Maybe this is the new take on "diagnosed with COVID 19 and will continue to work from home and follow CDC guidance"?
The real test is how successful they'll be in moving to other platforms. I've seen a tiny amount of Mastodon momentum.
Many of those who fled there already came crawling back as they found themselves quickly banned or being called fags non stop by the people there.
