This sketch was about Facebook but it's also relevant to Twitter

What took her so long?

Taking the position himself would rob him of a layer of insulation from public opinion. He'll find himself another rubber stamp, if he can find someone who's sufficiently stupid, greedy, and/or desperate to take the job (and there always is someone). We should start a betting pool on how long that person is going to last before taking the fall for Musk.

they would never do such a thing. not after calling out hillary clinton for using private email servers.

bluesky is populated "enough".

I'm not convinced she actually did anything as "CEO." I'm sure that Elon just told her what to do/say and she made it seem like they were her ideas. There's no way she had any ability to make any real changes or do any real work.

Not just signal, a home brew spy version from a foreign government.

People use it for the same reason they use Truth Social.

If she was trying to protect her reputation, that's a bit late. Nothing left to protect.

Feel like she’s more interested in protecting her future earning potential. She wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place if she cared about her reputation, imo.

Lots of Nazis around these days. That's why.

I feel like the common use cases are:

1. you’re MAGA nut
2. you’re not a MAGA nut, but you want to see what the loonies are talking about
3. You’re a marketer or influencer and you know MAGA nuts also buy shit

For me, it's the best place for quick sports updates. Many writers have moved to bluesky, but many more have not. Sports Twitter is the sole reason I use it.

Well the punchline to that sketch is "instead of FB, just do what I do: Go to the site where nazis scream at you!" just might be that twitter reference you said was missing.

Is it still a DEI hire if it's also a glass cliff?

Actually more relevant now, considering the ending

"Go to the site where Nazi's scream at you". It's talking about moving from facebook to twitter.

she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.

I do think that bluesky has a ton of momentum right now and is a viable alternative. But the thing about microblogging sites is that if the specific people you want to follow aren't on them, there's not really a substitute. I know I've heard people say that, for example, a lot of japanese game developers are still primarily on twitter (I've never been a twitter/bsky enjoyer so I can't speak to it personally).

Unfortunately I think people don’t care how the sausage is made. It has porn and racist edgy memes so they’ll keep coming back.

Thats because all of the heinously stupid things were done by the previous CEO.
