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
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.
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.
Maybe he would be interested in going to space on his starship rocket, launched from his newly designed launch pad (by himself, no less, who needs rules and pesky engineers?)
What they do is pass laws to make their cheating legal and therefore not cheating, while making actual honest competition illegal, and therefore cheating. The game is easy when it’s rigged.

He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app

Sorry, you lost this bet. It’s not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads

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.
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.
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

You have to be a huge piece of shit to get people rooting for the reptile that is Mark Zuckerberg.
Who told that zuck is different? :)
Competition is when things cannot be like your product
like oil market or pepsi and coke etc etc ?

Elongated Musketeer should’ve fucked off to Mars years ago
God’s, he’s really pathetic.
lol. He’s way less smart than he seems…
Imagine if he would have no PR team behind him.
or armies of sock puppet accounts that literally brought the Tony Stark hype to critical mass, making him the world’s richest person.
such a little bitch boy
Where’s the meme?
I wonder if this guy is interested in touring the Titanic wreck
If only…
The company shut down :(
One might say the company imploded
They were under too much pressure.
Can I interest you in a logitec joypad in this trying times? They are known to be sturdy.
Only used once?
Profits sank rapidly
I would hope that company stays in business, making the world a better place
That ship sank too, unfortunately.

Wait, didn’t he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?
Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)
