There is literally no reason to do it like that other than incompetence. Platform migrations, especially for something as large as Twitter, are incredibly large undertakings that need a lot of skilled people. All those skilled people have long continued their careers at other companies.
You don't need to know how Twitter is run, that is simply IT and business management 102.
i don't really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter
My brother in Christ, what?
while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated
Lol, I'm regularly working with companies such as Twitter as a consultant :)
I can't believe people come to Lemmy of all places to defend Twitter and Musk. I've come here a month or so ago when the reddit news broke, but damn, it changed so much these past few days. I kind of already miss Lemmy as it was.
ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?
i'm not even sure what we're debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they're trying to mitigate that...
