      It HAS to be on purpose. Nobody can get to billionaire levels of wealth and be completely inept, right? RIGHT?

        Begin rich makes one feel infallible. Thinking one’s self to be infallible leads to these kinds of decisions.

      At this point, I’m gonna say yes. Yes, he did do it on purpose. Why? The conspiracy theorist in me says it’s to push people into Meta’s Threads, building it up even more before it federates, in an attempt to kill the Fediverse like Google did with XMPP, because the Fediverse is the fastest growing bastion of corporate-influence-free speech on the Internet.

      Or he’s just an idiot. 🤷‍♀️

      I think this gives him credit where it isn’t due 😂

      Personally, I think he’s just a magic blend of incompetent, arrogant, and in over his head. Large companies are slow moving for a reason and we’re seeing why in real time.

      I still think if you look at his investors it spells out leaders who want Twitter not to be viable as a platform for coordinating democratic efforts. So yes, he did it deliberately.
