Those threads are gold!

“Maybe we don't talk twitter on twitter”

“Satya: Thx for the chat. Will stay in touch. And will for sure follow-up on Teams feedback!”

“jack [presumably Dorsey]: I'm off the twitter board mid May and then completely out of company. I intend to do this work and fix our mistakes. Twitter started as a protocol. It should have never been a company. That was the original sin.”

Larry [Ellison; Oracle] I agree that it has huge potential... and it would be lots of fun Elon: Absolutely:) [2022-04-26] Larry: Since you think I should come in for at least $2B... I'm in for $2B

Ok, what if Twitter was a protocol instead of a centralized operation run by a company? (Is this what Jack was getting at?)

The implications would be many -- and I'm skeptical scalability and the user experience would be comparable. Any good writings on this?

Most importantly, why would it be better as a protocol? Twitter's "problems" are social and not technological.
