you mean like the dozens of tools out there used by corporation's to approve and manage tweets that their social media teams send out.

It's now disportionately impacting white people, and in the 80s-90s it was disproportionately impacting black people which the US govt and media used to paint a negative image. So …

yup. and there are many well-funded startups that pivoted to buying/selling data from all the non-rocketships out there.

i think it's more that he already has way more money than he needs. And needs to inspire confidence with employees and show his commitment to creating a better Twitter. to him it d…

i mean maybe, just maybe, they're sick of being called insane, and being discounted like you and OP

quotas lead to inclusion. and inclusion is what's important. inclusion includes being represented at conferences.

seems like you're jumping through mental gymnastics to discount being more inclusive. none of that applies when you're actively going out of your way to be more inclusive of POC.

you're speaking from your experience which is fine and YMMV, but it's useful to listen to hers about how she feels. Discounting others' experiences doesn't help. She's talking abou…

no it isn't. she isn't competing with one person. she's bringing to attention that intersectionality exists and the tech industry isn't paying mind to it. quote from that link: "Op…
