Finally, a competition where I’d like to see all parties involved lose as hard as possible
Says the guy who cheats law.
I can’t believe I’m rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of “enemy of my enemy” ever.
Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won’t be, but it’s nice to imagine.
We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone. I’m rooting for The Zuck to win this battle and I’m rooting for Disney in Florida.
As much as Disney influenced my childhood, I definitely have my criticisms on their practices as a company.
Them fighting Ronny is not one of them. I was gonna make a pun on Desantis, but I drew up blank
It’s not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It’s called capitalism.
Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn’t actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.
Usually they don’t allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it’s basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don’t just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.
Welfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious
Where was him when they did the same to Snapchat and TikTok?
in his eyes, it was an ideal example of how capitalism, american dream, competition and free market works.
Every capitalist loves free market for the other guy.
Funny though that if Meta felt the need to make a Twitter clone it means Twitter is indeed doing well. Let’s see if Musk will do anything about it instead of resorting to cry about the matter.
Depends on what you mean by doing well. It doesn’t follow that they’re making money from those 200M users. But they do have those users. If Meta can convert them to Threads, then they could make more money from them, given they actually have advertisers.
In my view Musk is probably looking to have some profit in the following years with Twitter. Twitter Blue sub was kinda a genius move which means he’s making a steady income from every subscriber plus the ads he shows to those users (even though it’s a smaller amount should be profitable).
He took a public company that was mowing through investor money to make it break even, to an actual profit.
He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app
Turns out twitter isn’t hard to remake 😂
Everyone who tried Ruby on Rails: can confirm.
Didn’t they switch away long ago because performance?
Not sure about Twitter internals, but doing a Twitter clone is one of the most popular Ruby on Rails noob exercise.
Ah yeah, probably because Twitter was originally written in Ruby on Rails and it’s always nice to do exercises that feel like something real. But yeah, making things actually scale is pretty difficult and they felt they had to move from RoR to something else (Scala in this instance).
Of course, Elon Musk probably fired everyone responsible for making it scale properly, so at this point, stopping the growth of Twitter is probably good, because otherwise it might run into issues again.
As if to prove the point: Mastodon runs on Ruby on Rails :D
Anybody can make a twitter that can handle 100 users. The challenge is making worth at the scale of twitter
Sure, but the “scale of Twitter” becomes a more and more accessible goal by the day. elon fires everyone and intentionally breaks everything while only new feature releases are “new and exciting” paid tiers of horseshit that nobody wants. I’m not paying a penny for the privilege to yell into his sad, shrinking room with the remaining 17 nazis, 4200 corporate brands and 1.75 million bots that are left to make up its userbase.
The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn’t hard for them to make.
“Can you remove the picture requirement functionality and substitute a text requirement?” Done and DONE.
I bet they copied some code for mastodon and paid Gargron to not try to go after them. That would definitely give them a huge lift. Otherwise, I don’t see how they were able to quickly come up with this. Tech companies take forever to build stuff usually
Sorry, you lost this bet. It’s not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads

Competition is when things cannot be like your product
like oil market or pepsi and coke etc etc ?
such a little bitch boy
“Someone made a better twitter than me. I’m going to sue because I’m a whiny bitch.”
Elongated Musketeer should’ve fucked off to Mars years ago
Oh, do go on!
