Inside the shifting plan at Elon Musk’s X to build a new team and police a platform ‘so toxic it’s almost unrecognizable’::X’s trust and safety center was planned for over a year and is significantly smaller than the initially envisioned 500-person team.
With bluesky and Mastodon, I really dont see people coming back to the platform. The network effect works both positive and negatively. If less people are using the platform, it will accelerate the move to other platforms.
It seems like a chunk of people (and large institutions) are trying to ‘wait it out’ and ignoring all the awful replies / content
Once people switch, they’re unlikely to go back. Problem is getting them to put in the time to switch.
I’d call it a win when we start seeing “____ said on Mastodon” in articles
Weird how firing the trust and safety team on day one could come back to bite him.
Just shut it down until it has been cleaned to be a decent participant of the net again.
I trust Linda to run Twitter the same way I trust Ashley to run Vought: responsibility and without deference to a creep with a god complex
