There’s just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them – and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.

I believe this fits well under the “fuck around and find out” doctrine.

    That hope is indeed naive. If you want to see what threat Threads poses, look at how Google killed XMPP.

        First of all, SMTP was much more well-established before Google came along than XMPP was.

        Second, from what I’ve heard, Gmail (and other big players like Hotmail etc.) did have a substantial detrimental effect on the proverbial “little guy’s” ability to self-host email… at least if he wants outbound messages to actually be delivered instead of blocked, anyway.
