So trying out changes to a platform isn’t a bad thing and can lead to a lot of good optimization, but usually you don’t just push them onto the entire user base without testing/marketing research to try and anticipate their effects.

How exactly do these changes make it to production without being evaluated? I know blame is mostly on Musk here but do the software devs really never stand up and say “we’ll look into it and get back to you in a few weeks”?

The only devs left are those whose visas are tied to employment, so they can't piss of the management or they get deported.

And yet Fritter doesn't work right now. Are they blocking 3rd party apps like Reddit, or is it something with Fritter?

Tech giants fighting each other.

Interesting to see how they have all managed a system with each other that is so hard to switch around.

Based on how this was (apparently?) an automatic response by the Google search algorithm, seems more like a case of:

Twitter: ”You took everything from me!”

Google: ”I don’t even know who you are”

Probably coulda just like… emailed someone at Google and asked before making the switch.

Still doesn't work for me?

I still can’t see any tweets. Maybe it’s a Canada thing..

I'm in Canada and can see a tweet IF it is directly linked. If you click on the person's feed it says "there's a problem". So it is not as useless as before but still is for any sort of emergency or critical news dissemination.

I see, now, yeah. Pretty terrible.
