Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach,

Wired is for people who want to talk about technology without actually taking about technology.

According to the article, Musk is the ideas guy and it's her job to implement them. So when Twitter fails, he'll say the ideas were great, it was an execution problem.

She probably figures at her next job interview she'll say it was a no win situation, but at least she accomplished (something).

Also, "research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get" -Wikipedia

Yes! It's a dark pattern microagression.

A fair-minded article. This sounded off though:

a big attraction of Reddit—that its main page is a kind of greatest hits of an enormous community.

No, r/all was the lowest common denominator, full of karmafarming, ragebait, and reposts. Every time I looked at r/all I regretted it, so I mostly stuck to subreddits.

"Lastly, I’ve intentionally done this work in a way that will, I hope, prove illegible and hostile to summary in media reports"

lel I like the way this person thinks. Did a quick read, is worth re-reading.

I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic.

It's "enswastification."

I have to use Edge at work, and turned off all the BS. But Microsoft keeps coming up with new BS that they enable by default so every so often I have to waste time figuring out how to turn it off.

I kind of agree, but for a lot of people leaving Reddit was a very emotional experience. Sometimes talking helps to get over it.

If they only took money once, that'd be acceptable. But like bullies and addicts, if you give them money once they just keep coming back for more.

Like what is .ml?

It's the top level domain of the nation of Mali. But in this case, I've seen it referred to as an abbreviation for "Marxist-Leninist" because those Lemmy admins are Communists.

Yeah, when I was looking for a post-redit home I checked out beehaw.

Strike 1: no downvotes

Strike 2: application period to create an account

Strike 3: I read the beehaw mod's "philosophy" posts and I got the general idea of what they were saying, but they just sounded a little... odd. Like they were thinking things through and were going around in circles without really getting anywhere. By contrast, the tildes.net philosophy posts seemed well-thought-out and very readable.
