They could be trying to pull a double: not wasting a good crisis (Twitter) to syphon users, and Embrace/Extend/Extinguish the fediverse.

These tech CEOs don't deserve the benefit of Hanlon's razor anymore. Too much evidence of Te contrary.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
