Nice. I hope it stays down; we’d all be better off.

Speak for yourself. I like it and I don't use it at all for politics.

Selecting your own mute words for your timeline is the best part about Twitter. The algorithm changes have been pretty bad in the last few weeks though.

I read that they only have 30 people maintaining the whole app. It must be difficult holding everything together with so few people, and probably insufficient redundancy with oncall.

Yes, the head of product dev recently bragged about only having 30 engineers.

Where does one go to complain that X is down when X itself is gone?

Grok will give solace and support. It assured me that I was not banned (yet).
