Gregory's ServerJack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.

@Green_Footballs he's a moron tech bro turned wanna-be guru ... i guess in silicon valley people believe if you grow a beard and meditate that you are automatically some kind of sage.  @ekknappenberger @Green_Footballs I personally am open to the possibility of (checks recipe) tucking some Jack Dorsey under the skin of a chicken before roasting, to add flavor and fragrance. @Green_Footballs Charlie— I feel it too— @Green_Footballs  It was a rightwingers favoring site pre-Musk. Then it became a white supremacists cesspool.  @dsmdexter @Green_Footballs True. Honestly wondering if Jack was so eager to sell just to look like the good guy by comparison.  @Green_Footballs if you run a public company and someone tenders an offer at 2X your current market cap … it’s almost impossible to turn it down because of shareholder lawsuits. Disirregardless, Dorsey is bad.  @mattmoehr @Green_Footballs this is the truth. The board is legally required to put the interests of shareholders first. Ahead of the users. Ahead of society at large. It's been tested over and over in court and management knows this. They could have argued that shareholder interests were best served by not accepting the deal but very little chance of that succeeding, and from a financial perspective hindsight says it would have been wrong. @enmodo @mattmoehr @Green_Footballs It's very odd, as there is nothing specific holding a board to this stance outside the expectation that they will act this way. It's a covenant that is self reinforcing. IMO One of the (seemingly many) ways Milton Friedman and his ilk were a poison on this earth. :ablobfoxbongo: @Green_Footballs yeah I'm good where I am may try calckey.social when it has an edit button otherwise I'm good here another wall garden is the last thing we need @Green_Footballs I think Jack's as cuckoo as cocoa puffs but Twitter was a publically traded company and Elon memed himself into making an offer twice what it was worth and tried to back out but couldn't I guess I'm saying fuck em all @spangborn I haven’t checked it out yet and am curious: Anything more you can say about what makes it a joke? @spangborn @bmerberg I know a few who have access to it and they have same opinion as yours: Twitter but a few years ago. I attached an image of its UI for those who're curious. @Green_Footballs Suspended me for urging the incoming Biden/Harris administration to not pardon Trump or they'd lose the republic. I also called Orange Mussolini mean things in that fateful tweet. After that it was "talk to the hand" from them. Then Jack wouldn't let Elon out of his "deal." Jack was losing $. Elon made him whole and destroyed Twitter for the autocrats the obscenely wealthy seem to prefer vs being ruled over by the likes of us. We take them to court. They take them to dinner. @Green_Footballs isn’t he legally required to act in the best interest of shareholders? They were offered higher than market value, so ofc he’d have to sell if majority of shareholders want it. @ks1686 @Green_Footballs pretty sure he wasn't in charge by the time the sale went through. He had already stepped back from running Twitter to spend more time with his beard. Selling Twitter was a board decision.  @Green_Footballs Anxiously waiting (for 5 months and counting now) for the day when I look at the featured posts tab and 80% of the posts aren’t about Twitter.  @Green_Footballs Post Elmo buying Twitter, Dorsey has tried to back off his earlier endorsement. But meanwhile he's been busy F-ing up SQ with crypto/blockchain voodoo. By which I mean $SQ is dow 43% since this date last year. And close to 75% since its peak in Aug 2021. @Green_Footballs Oh no, what did he do to our so special relationship of « he offered a product and we used it according to his conditions » ? What devious mind would build a start-up just to sell it a few years later to someone offering enough money to make a profit ? Good thing we have been awakened to that very unique sort of total depravation ; we are uniquely gifted with the capacity to refuse a new product on the basis that we don’t need it. A once-per-existence capacity, I dare say. @chrisoffner3d @Green_Footballs This will go into the history books. Together with things like this. @Green_Footballs Totally. He was showing that he had no idea how to properly run a social media site already. @Green_Footballs Just seen quotes about him regarding how he plans to introduce microbilling for 'likes' via cryptos. Well that says it all, doesn't it? @Green_Footballs if you add the fact a lot of his promoters are blue checks, it makes me doubt even more!  @Green_Footballs I’ve been over sky for a few weeks. There seems to be good intentions but it’s early days. I don’t know too much about what you mentioned but I did see someone call him out about this over there and his reply seemed to be from what I can recall, mainly, that he didn’t sell anyone out and that the business was sold for one reason or another. Someone said he is focused a lot on Nostr and not Sky. @Green_Footballs man, Elon really lives rent free in yall heads huh? Must suck to be you  @Green_Footballs That learning progress comes ~15 years later than needed, but, well, better late than never. ;) @Green_Footballs selling out one of the most important informational channels to a self-centred billionaire might have been the most irresponsible decision of the decade. @Green_Footballs reminder dorsey is still pumping and dumping in telegram chats with musk |
@Green_Footballs reminds me of “what’s your encore” in Clerks.
