Android developer. The Elon guy. Now on https://t.co/7ot40xjo1Z
Joined November 2011
I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong.
Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!.

Karen Bruce-Lane should move to Texas, because she doesn't reflect the values of this community.

One of the parents in question is Republican California State Assembly candidate @klbrucelane. She went full Karen and had her campaign manager post pictures she took. This was a political stunt to spread fear and make members of the community feel unwelcome. Shameful.

No limit? 🤔.
If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know.

Elon's plan to break even this year. Steal from employees and charities.
NEW: Twitter hasn’t paid thousands of dollars in charitable donations that employees made in 2022, around the time of the acquisition. The money was taken out of employee paychecks but never reached the organizations. Benevity, the third-party platform that is used to facilitate.

`we're told that the standard greeting is "where are you interviewing?" and "where do you have offers?"`. Same thing my wife has been asking for the past month.

All Twitter 2.0 can do is change icons on features built by Twitter 1.0. Can't even be bothered to fix the bugs before shipping.
Twitter is working on showing Tweet view count. It’s unsure whether it will be visible to the author only or everyone

The guy that said 80% of engineers at Twitter were useless turns out to be useless. Didn't even get the popup removed.

I guess a poll is cheaper than paying experienced people to tell you your ideas are stupid.
Should we have a policy preventing the creation of or use of existing accounts for the main purpose of advertising other social media platforms?.

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

This is why you have trends deny lists. Not sure Disney wants to be right above "Milf Hunter".

VF also handles the user generated block lists. If user A blocks user B Twitter would "filter" user B's Tweets from the response.

This is how you "limit reach". But the Tweet is still there if you go to the profile.
9. “VF” refers to Twitter’s control over user visibility. It used VF to block searches of individual users; to limit the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; to block select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from inclusion in hashtag searches.

Also not true. Lets say you account was suspend, or Tweet was deleted, or a reply from a protect account you don't follow Twitter would "filter" it.
7. What many people call “shadow banning,” Twitter executives and employees call “Visibility Filtering” or “VF.” Multiple high-level sources confirmed its meaning.

"New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach." - @elonmusk . 😱 OMG Twitter was already doing that shame on them. A whole lot of nothing once again.
