But the fact of the layoffs is the one thing that I’d say, “Okay, it’s gross, but a lot of those would have happened anyway.” Not a big, dramatic “we’re all going to turn it off” one day, but a couple of early adopters get on a different network, that network proves its value, the other one stops serving its value, and you slowly forget your password. We may re-create the stuff that Twitter is good for, or it might be that we are witnessing the decline and the end of an era. A bunch of those layoffs would have happened just because 2022 is the year that companies like Twitter are realizing we’re no longer in a “build tons of new things” moment. I do think it’s noteworthy that Twitter and Facebook are both on the decline, though not for anywhere near the same reasons. And even though you can port over who you follow to Mastodon, that only works if everybody’s moving to the same place. And 10 years ago, Elon Musk was the archetype of that story.

And these innovator-inventor heroes are the ones who are paving the way to a new and better world, because they’re such incredible geniuses.
