@Twitter If you’re going to ban third-party clients, have the decency to at least admit that you’re doing it. You’re throwing these people’s livelihoods into doubt and you won’t even answer their questions.

@raycastapp Any plans to extend the emoji picker beyond just emoji? I like the idea, but can't actually use it as a replacement for the default picker because I can't use it to insert symbols like ⌘ or →.

@GergelyOrosz Honestly appreciate this change. ❤️ Initially followed in August or so after reading some of your great posts on engineering culture and efficacy, and was a bit surprised when the account ended up being “All Layoffs, All the Time”. Looking forward to hearing about other topics.

I’m taking a break from covering layoffs or amplifying them. Sadly, they are happening and will keep happening, but they are still an overall small part of the market. I’m looking to balance things out, starting by focusing on more positive / interesting things.
Gergely Orosz@GergelyOrosz

I also want to post less news about layoffs (even though they are happening and I get lots of scoop first-hand). I don't want to overload people (or myself) with this though, given the grim market. I'll think of ways of doing this with a better balance.

A better free tier IMO would be something like 50 follows, limited posts per day, and maybe you can only reply to accounts you follow. That way you can still join a community, but your ability to harass others and spam is limited.

I also think the zero-posts/five-follows free tier wouldn’t be enough for folks to get engaged. I think ideally Twitter should be about creating small communities. “Muted by default” discourages that in favor of passive consumption of big accounts.

@deech Anecdotally, my employer did severance when they did a mass layoff in July. They’re based out of Chicago. Might be a startup/VC thing.

@deech I think so. I’ve heard the WARN act tossed around about this, which seems to be a CA law governing mass layoffs. (Insert disclaimers here.)

Is this a California thing? Where I live severance is almost unheard of and I don't believe you qualify for unemployment if you get fired.

@travisbrown I wish I had any faith that Twitter will treat “exact mirror of another account” as sufficiently sus to ban, but my hopes aren’t high. I did try, though.
