discord is manned in 20s-30s employee, valve who makes steam is also has small number of team if you thinking you need 500s employee or something well you are wrong since many company do this for a long time and still do well

> discord is manned in 20s-30s employee, valve who makes steam is also has small number of team Discord is renowned for it's small engineering team, but I'm afraid you somehow claimed it has half the staff it does. A few years ago Steam reportedly employed around 90 engineers. Is it less than 500? I guess. What does that comparison tells you? Well, nothing. You need staff to roll out new features on multiple projects…

so you agreeing with that twitter is bloated, who would have thought???

it literally oblivious from the start and someone REFUSE to see the truth

> ~uncensored The term "cis" will still get you a warning while my for-you page has been consistently filling up with more and more far right content. I regularly see blue checks espousing actual jewish-conspiracy antisemitism. Every time something happens to anyone, blue check comments asking if any of the parties were black, sometimes not even asking just assuming and blaming it on black people. Elon has truly crea…

Which leaves me asking: why are you still there?

Some good tech content and the regular thrill of telling racists their mom regrets not getting that abortion.

I’m kind of fascinated by Nikita’s popularity. Normally if you told a tech community like Hacker News that someone marketed viral phone apps targeting teenagers, engineered app engagement mechanics targeting kids, and openly used every growth hacking trick in the book to manipulate App Store charts, it would seem like a checklist of things people get angry about here. Yet because he’s Twitter-famous and seems like a…

A casual glance of his twitter stream makes him look like an ass hole. I dont see anything nice about this person at all.

I'll do it for $5.5M/year Seriously, Elon should put the position up for auction and see how low he can drive the price. Would be hilarious PR

You'd probably find people willing to PAY to be the CEO of Twitter just because it'd look really good on a resume.

Really? I personally would never hire such a person.

> It skews one way, but there's definitely a large diversity in opinions on Reddit that are not hard to find. It's also transitioning into an India social media site, just from sheer population numbers. This happened on Quora until almost all western users left. Initially it was nice to have diversity of users and opinions, but then people started using Indian parlance that only other Indian users could understand (s…

by your logic Americans using millions is also a problem. Remember number system came from India. you cant tell them to change it for your convenience

No, by their logic (because it's exactly what he said) the diversity was nice. It becoming a monoculture was perhaps less nice, but no opinion on that was offered, you have to infer.

Virtually nobody said that it would go under in a year because that makes no sense. It's financially possible for it to tread water for years whilst losing money. I don't see how this could be deemed a success when a magic 8 ball or a hamster attached to a giant pile of money could keep it going as long.

Lol the overwhelming tech jerk opinion was that he was firing elite engineers and the site would be unmaintainable as a result, and that he had over-leveraged himself to the point of bankruptcy.

He can't go bankrupt in any sane length of time whilst having the dragon hoard he has. I think you are cherry picking a few folks and assigning them the roles of "the public".

He's probably at more risk of falling out a window Soviet style than poverty.

It probably is unmaintainable but it was already feature complete at time of purchase.

Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son for any crimes during a 10 year period 2014-2024. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3dx9n3m9y2o He later pardoned other family members and political allies.

And Fauci. Why would he do that?

> And Fauci. Why would he do that?

Why would Fauci need that? It's not like he was getting death threats or anything like that. Oh, wait, he was.

> The people I've seen who have talked about their engagement numbers Now do bluesky. X is doing fine. Turns out network effects are real.

Anecdotal, but everone that I've heard do those comparisons have done Bluesky vs X, and every time they've noticed better engagement ratio and higher quality engagement on Bluesky.

Yeah. I’m sure.

Liberal echo chamber gets lots of liberal echos.

Works until you realize that you’re just talking to yourself.
