#RIPTwitter is trending because it feels like it’s really over this time

As my colleagues Alex Heath and Mia Sato report, the departure of whole necessary groups leads individuals who know Twitter effectively to assume that it’s solely a matter of time till issues break down. In accordance with the New York Occasions, some “crucial” workers have been pulled into conferences with Musk and his advisors, who tried to steer them to remain because the time ticked down.

So if that is the top of Twitter, the one factor left to do is… tweet about it.

Some individuals are planning their strikes to Instagram. Mastodon, MySpace, or names even older than that, however many of the energetic posts clearly fall someplace alongside the 5 phases of grief.

The temper has shifted from denial to depart area for acceptance and bargaining — and there’s surprisingly little anger.

That even goes for the person who spent months attempting to undo his $44 billion bid earlier than being compelled to make good on it and skyrocketing up the Go90 scale of doomed services in pursuit of a $7.99 per thirty days pipe dream.

And sure, he’s tweeting his means by way of it too.

The microservices are nonetheless stay sufficient (for now), so whether or not it’s an excessive take, a dangerous DM, or simply one other idle commentary, this feels just like the time to submit that tweet earlier than all of us transfer on to losing time elsewhere.
