I'm still trying to process all the things that happened to me while working at Twitter - the last month before I was forced to resign was just something I don't think I've ever seen in my career of 20+ years in the network/security business.
But what made Twitter great? What do I miss most? Our former core values were key ingredients:
* Grow our business in a way that makes us proud.
* Recognize that passion and personality matter.
* Communicate fearlessly to build trust.
* Defend and respect the user’s voice.
* Reach every person on the planet.
* Innovate through experimentation.
* Seek diverse perspectives.
* Be rigorous. Get it right.
* Simplify.
* Ship it.
Yes. These were our values for years. And it was destroyed in a month.
@LnzyHou Yeah... that's not my area of expertise, so I really can't comment on that. But the work I put into maintaining and securing the network there... I was proud of that. As an example:

@dark_15 as a 16 yr user, whose account has been locked up with no recourse now available to us to reinstate or deactivate, twtr should never have forced the sale imo.
that brought this on us all.
@pennyphilosophy @dark_15 The #Twitter board had to force the sale or get their butts sued off by shareholders for not taking the deal. There wasn't really an out other than the billion dollar walkaway penalty that #Elon didn't take.
@Cosmichomicide @dark_15 what a world

@dark_15
That must have been many years before I joined #twitter
It was already a shitshow when I joined. I blocked almost 16,000 assholes in a couple years
