What's happening to Twitter is not the same as what happened to MySpace, LiveJournal, Tumblr, or other faded sites. People gradually moved from those sites on their own accord to better options. What's happening to Twitter is a controlled demolition.

I've mostly just been a lurker on here, but I'm still sad. I've learned a lot from so many different people's expertise and stories, and I'll really miss that. Thank you for sharing 💙 I'm not planning to go to mastodon for now, idk what's next

When Twitter debuted, it offered an alternative and challenge to MSM. But that media world is dead -- local news gutted, websites paywalled, cable news siloed into paid streaming outlets. Twitter is where people go to work around a media designed to keep people uninformed.

Twitter isn't just a privatized public sphere; it is an archive of evidence. When that evidence is controlled by a billionaire acting at whim, evidence affecting millions can be easily molded or destroyed for malevolent gain. Voices can be silenced. And history rewritten.

@f800gecko @gregggonsalves @Twitter His game is keeping people from determining what’s true through exchange of information, organizing as a community for good, or maintaining an accurate archive of history, so no, leaving would benefit his backers immensely. (This is about much more than Musk as an individual.)

In 2015-2016, media executives worked against their financial interests by suppressing stories about Trump's ties to the mafia, to Epstein, to espionage and other topics of great interest to Americans. When greedy corporations work *against* their own self-interest, ask why.

@ceeoreo_ Buy the good luggage, and never check it in. Optimize for your comfort and convenience, e.g. having 2 of everything, airport sweater, etc. Eating healthy, sleeping well, and constant travel is hard even without a pandemic, so you really have to prioritize taking care of yourself

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

@codeability You can be a champion before becoming a Subject Matter Expert, and start on your current team. Do a learning session about why it matters, and use that as a chance to learn. Use the webaim million as a starting point to find opportunities within your daily work

I can adjust my behavior, pause the conversation, or help debug as needed. When an entire team models this practice, it's a real act of solidarity. I wonder how our ideas of interaction design would change if we wanted to encourage more of that behavior in the context of a11y

When we talk about accessibility or inclusive design, it's often from the point of view of accommodating the needs of individuals. I would love to find more writing/examples of community-oriented applications of inclusive design

My vision for engineering a great CX, summarized: the tactical empathy of human-centered design; the rapid response afforded by continuous delivery; strategic, cross-functional team topologies; and observability into production Easier said than done 😅
