Elon is the chemo to cure the Twitter cancer. Every single time these people claim the site is dying and they're off to the fediverse or (back to) tumblr, they're invariably someone at least bordering on a dangerhair stereotype. Twitter can only benefit from the end of their ability to enforce their dogma; they can't GTFO fast enough.

Well, someone's found a bit of 'context' which helps clarify why Yoel Roth (yoel.roth@gmail.com), the former Twitter 'Trust & Safety' head was blocking all this, and why he was pushed onto Twitter in the first place. In Roth's dissertation, 'Gay Data', from 2016, he looks at how applications like Instagram and Grindr which are commonly known to have explicit material have been age gated, kept away from kids, and explores how apps perceived as 'safe' like Twitter can be leveraged to push homosexual propaganda to children and facilitate their grooming, even 'connecting' for physical meetups.

So from what I understand twitter staff was involved in not only allowing cp on the site but was using the algorithms to push minors into contact with rat kings?
It really explains how future ash piles like Keffals got the following and reach he did on the platform, truly fucking horrifying shit.

Devils advocate, but they might want pop up notifications on their phone. That little dopamine ding.

Which in itself is a problem. The only way I can explain why is this...

Dr. Ryuta Kawashima from the Brain Age games, specifically the 3DS "Concentration Training" game states that people that require that dopamine hit of information are suffering from something called "Information Addiction", which leads to people unable to do daily tasks, even simple ones. It's a huge distraction that makes people glued to their devices 24/7 because they NEED to know exactly what's going on ALL the time.

I've lost count as to how many people at the various office jobs I've worked at that are always checking facebook and shit on their phones while their "supposed" to be doing other important shit at their job. Introducing all these apps and designing cell phones as mini pc's were a HUGE fucking mistake.

It's not just the tech sector. Virtually every white collar employee in every large corporation needs to submit weekly status updates for the higher-ups. It could be via email, meeting, phone call or logging tasks into some sort of workflow or CRM system used to generate a report.
When I was in the corporate world, I had to put all interactions with clients along with updates as to the work I was doing for them into a CRM system. The big incentive to do this (other than not being chewed out by the boss) is that this system produced one of the reports used to pay end of year bonuses. Needless to say I made damn sure I stayed back on Friday nights to ensure that the reporting was up to date for Monday sales meetings.
Making a big deal out of something that's BAU for millions of other employees working in similar corporations says a lot about pre-Musk Twitter. It wasn't so much a tech company as a sheltered workshop for genderspecials and dangerhairs.

GPS was invented so Poseidon SLBMs could be accurate enough to hit Soviet missile silos. It wasn't until the Russians shot down a Korean airliner the US thought civilians might be able to use it too.
Yes, the world trembled for decades under the threat of nuclear annihilation, but we got some very cool toys out of the deal.

As said by others, the only strange thing about this is that Musk is getting these reports. Which makes sense if he doesn't trust middle management.

I figured that Twitter was condoning cp when I found out about the cp sharing tags and how open and brazen the pedos were. You had teens advertising and selling themselves openly on these tags, I even saw a 13 year old girl with an image advertisement that showed her prices for pics/private streams. Absolutely horrifying

It's not that unusual for several layers of management above to have acceass to reports from individual employees several layers below, but it is a little unusual that Elon seems to be taking more interest in his employees' productivity at such a granular level.

I suspect this is a temporary measure until he installs a executive team he can trust. Given how rotten Twitter is and how his other businesses appear to be well-managed by their respective executive teams, it's not surprising that he's so hands on with Twitter right now.

I've had to complete activity reporting for smaller companies, they don't know what to do with them and they are just requesting them at some point because they have heard that the big companies do that so it must be a good idea for our staff to do that too. I figured out quickly these reports when they get implemented where they were not before are just management saying "We don't know what you do, so maybe you are doing nothing".

In my situation they were really easy to game, as long as I accounted (On the form) for the hours for the week then they were happy. The big tasks didn't take that long so you'd plug them in and I kept a list of general tasks I could just plug in around the big tasks to look like I was busy the whole time. Answering Emails, calls to clients, meeting with somebody).

I never ever got any feedback from these so after a while just stopped sending them and.. nobody said anything about them ever again. Always.

There's a difference between this kind of bullshit reports (which are mostly for accounting purposes) and actual status reporting being done by programmers and other people actually doing stuff. You can't just work on some piece of software for a month without giving any updates to your team. I mean, you can, but then I'll get hired for double your rate to fix the mess it will inevitably become.

Probably the sheer amount of hell that'd be raised if a staff member "tripped" and "accidentally" knocked out the site when questions were being asked.

I mean, look at what's happening  now, and that's literally just becausé someone else owns the site.

One thing I want Elon to change is that if you are using a browser on your phone, not the twatter app, and you aren't logged in, you can scroll down like 5 tweets on any timeline before twatter shoves a popup in your face you can't get rid of telling you to sign up or use the app. You cannot look at twatter on your phone unless you have an account and are logged in or use the app

Fix this shit Elon I'm sure it weighs down on views and engagement. Pisses me right off. Fuck you why do I have to do this shit just to look at your website on my phone?

Not only should he fix it, he should find out which product manager thought it was a good idea, and shove a fucking cricket stump up their arse and then throw them out of the nearest window for being a fucking retarded moron who thought it was a good idea.

Are you alluding to the people who suggested to "make twitter so unprofitable it becomes the new Tumblr"? If not, you saw this from the old boss Dorsey. He got Parler removed from the app store in wake of Trump's ban I believe.
i'd put the proof pictures here but i cant right now.

Because twatter had (albeit biased) moderation while dumblr only stuck to website maintenance. By putting the mod power into the people, they harrassed the shit out of those they didn't like until they left on their own. Twitter has that and also mods who suspended the accounts, often without warning because we all know it boils down to wRoNgThInK. Not to mention Tumblr did things without beta testing or warning that rubbed users the wrong way. Twitter announces shit in advance giving time to get critique.
