@stux Social media platforms are not permanent. What a surprising piece of news. I hope they will keep spending all the money they have on the "metaverse". That'll hopefully accelerate their slide towards the level of relevance they deserve.

@stux I guess this is the “dump” stage of “Pump and Dump”? :blobthinkingsmirk: Though I do really feel bad for those laid off, especially in this economy

@stux That is going to hurt. All market gains and all people hiring during the pandemic is being reversed. We are going back to normal.

@stux painful. Zuck and his bullshit can rot but it's still sad for those impacted.

@stux Meanwhile Zuck still pushes billions into the meta-ghost-verse?

@stux Perhaps they could volunteer their time and talents to help Mastodon.

@stux Conjures thoughts of thousands of suddenly unemployed technologists, sitting at home, bored, starting their own instances in the Fediverse. Might even start dedicated instances for corporate alumni. MastoTwitFace anyone?Followed by thousands of resumes going out with former positions at big-name corporate social media platforms and operating a Mastodon server as a skill set.
