  1. Something must be done! (true)
  2. This is something! (also true)
  3. Therefore, this must be done!

Literally cannot argue with that logic

This is not one of those cases. Nothing needed to be done.

Well I meant about Twitter hemorrhaging money and staff on a pretty-much-un-heard-of scale even for the tech industry since Musk took over. That was definitely a problem, and I 100% feel that something definitely needed to be done to right the ship.

Yes there was a problem, but destroying the identity and appeal of the app wasn't the solution.

Inviting all the Nazis back, and explicitly chasing away the advertisers and all the people who ran the servers and mailed the rent checks, wasn't the solution either...

That is such an amazing insult. I'm stealing that.
