@leostamillo >1 month without talking to you was way too long. Won't happen again!

@adreyonce @TweeterHamblett Omg

@toizer And @TweeterHamblett

I’ve officially joined the ranks of former Tweeps. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to the people I worked with at Twitter. It wasn’t the company, and it wasn’t the product - it was all of you who kept me there for eight exciting, chaotic, and fulfilling years.

Thank you for the empathy, thoughtfulness, and patience you showed me. You are some of the most talented and brilliant people I've ever met, and it was a privilege and and honor to work with you. I'm here to support you in any way I can, don't hesitate to reach out. #OneTeam

@nataliamblock @mingle74 @CaseyNewton I’m so sorry this happened to you both. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to support either of you

@toizer @mingle74 @CaseyNewton Me too. I just lost access to email and slack. I was working on Civic Integrity.

Getting word that a large number of number of Twitter contractors were just laid off this afternoon with no notice, both in the US and abroad. Functions affected appear to include content moderation, real estate, and marketing, among others

@mingle74 @CaseyNewton I’m so so sorry to hear that Melissa 😔

@CaseyNewton This just happened to me. I work(ed) in content moderation in political misinformation.

@smydrad @JoannaG @Tozier Not at all - it’s a great reminder about how important Curation was in shaping a compelling and fulfilling experience for our users. Please continue to point out when you see something that can be improved

@toizer @JoannaG Thank you, @tozier, for carrying on. Apologies if my earlier QT made your job harder. Good luck and take care. 🙏🏻💙🫡

Pssst! Whoever the tweep is that has landed Curation's old job during the mid-term elections: You only need to hyphenate "up to date" if it's a compound modifier before a noun.

@lorena_mjz @JoannaG We didn’t use google translate, but I’m very appreciative of the feedback! Will update

@toizer @JoannaG Hey @toizer, could the Spanish version be reviewed too? "Manténgase en sintonía" seems a literal Google translation from "Stay tuned". "Manténgase informado" is more appropriate here.

Current and former Tweeps, I'm here to help. Please reach out if you need resume reviews, interview practice, introductions, reference letters, or anything else

These are the people who spent all day, every day, finding innovative ways to encourage healthy conversation, amplifying credible information for Twitter users, and identifying and mitigating potential harms introduced by new product features. Twitter is worse off without them

As the dust settles and we continue to learn which Tweeps were laid off, one thing is immediately clear - those who were cut are not low performers. Many of the most talented, passionate, and mission-driven colleagues I've ever had were impacted last week

An update about our ongoing work related to the conflict in Ukraine

@kieranhannon @kcoleman @jack @leslieberland Hi Kieran, we agree! We’re in the process of conducting a small pilot for a new misleading report flow to see how we can best use it to keep the platform safe. Hope to have more to share on next steps late this year or early next year

@delbius Del! I learned so much from you over the past four years, thank you so much for your leadership ❤️

@nicole_bonoff @dktr_dr Thanks Daniel! We’re on it

Um…? @nicole_bonoff

Today, we're taking an important step toward improving the quality of information on Twitter. This pilot will allow us to better understand how misleading information spreads online, and increase the speed and scale of our response. More to come soon

@sbadalich @andwewmcd Now to get Unicode to add it too

@jkru @samuelmaskell @beamjack @kng And @brittanyforks and @thechelleshock!

I make zero sense that the "mute words" settings are under "notifications" and not "content preferences"

@brittanyforks @rogerclark I saw this on Instagram and came here to congratulate you again wow so exciting
