Imagine being part of the team being ordered to cripple and dismantle all of Twiddler’s best features, while seeing #nostr devs fearlessly buidling new tools for decentralized communication, and having a blast doing it.

It must be absolutely demoralizing.

Before I even got to the end I said to myself how demoralizing it must be for them. 🤣

WELL FUCKING SAID.

Which features were dismantled?

It’s a pretty long list.

It must be demoralizing to work for a sinking ship while the competition keeps on winning, chugging along like it's just another Monday on the freedom protocol.

Not really. Not when you’ve got tens of thousands of subscribers getting verification at $14 a month for individuals and $1000 a month for organizations. Twitter is probably seeing more revenue than it’s ever seen before.

This is not about what’s “right” or “good”. It’s about what can make more revenue. Twitter is a mess. But to be honest if I had the technical know how, the capacity and capital I utilize that platform to get my message out.

Twitter will either become a relic if it continues in the direction it’s going, or it will become the authoritarian-friendly panopticon nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx predicts. Either way, the developers working on it know they’re moving in direct opposition to the freedom protocol.

nothing demoralizing about good paying easy work.

Not if you love building things people actually enjoy using.

I tend to view work as just a means of survival, a thing to be endured not enjoyed. Sadly just a fact of life for most of us.
