Interrupting my paternity leave to share some final @Twitter-related news: I’m leaving the company after over 7 years.

Wow. Insane piloting skills and a brave rescue effort. twitter.com/RedTRaccoon/st…

The truth is that this isn’t how and when I imagined leaving Twitter, and this wasn’t my decision. Parag asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction.

Rest in peace @cbrewsayso. You were taken from this world far too soon, but you’ll be remembered forever. #LoveForCourtney

Fleets are a way to share fleeting thoughts. Unlike Tweets, Fleets disappear after 24 hours and don’t get Retweets, Likes, or public replies-- people can only react to your Fleets with DMs. Instead of showing up in people’s timelines, Fleets are viewed by tapping on your avatar.

📣 Starting today, Fleets will be rolling out globally for everybody on Twitter! 🧵

Proud of all the teams at Twitter who have been working hard to increase our product development velocity. We’ve been busy! Here’s a recap of a bunch of things we’ve shipped or started experimenting with just in the past 2 weeks:

If you’re experiencing this:
First of all, sorry that these issues were introduced and for the inconvenience.
Two main issues: 1) The speed/lag issue has been identified & fixed this weekend, aiming to submit to AppStore tmrw 2) we’re investigating jump-ahead twitter.com/mdudas/status/…

@bariweiss wow. did you even read the blog post? We never denied de-amplifying things. In fact we made clear that we do rank. We defined exactly what we meant by “shadow banning” (b/c there are many definitions) and made very clear that we didn’t do *that*…

this is not true. it's a bug on web and we're working on fixing it! 9to5mac.com/2021/06/29/twi…

Namaste! Starting today, Fleets are coming to India. If you’re in India, check it out and let us know what you think! #FleetsFeedback 🇮🇳

Every day, people come to Twitter to see what’s happening. One of the unique things about Twitter is that “what’s happening” is fueled by people sharing their thoughts openly, through Tweets. But sharing your thoughts publicly can be intimidating! 🧵
15
We’re winding down Fleets on August 3. We weren’t seeing the impact we’d like to see from a big bet, so we’re going to pivot our focus elsewhere 🧵 blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/p…

We’ve been listening to this feedback and working to create new capabilities that address some of the anxieties that hold people back from talking on Twitter. Today, in Brazil only, we’re starting a test (on Android and iOS) for one of those new capabilities. It’s called Fleets.

After over 5 years, we’re saying goodbye to the Periscope app (by March 2021). We shared detail on why we made this decision and some of the steps we’re taking to support the Periscope community through this transition in this blog post: periscope.medium.com/farewell-peris…

@bariweiss … You are characterizing any de-amplification as equating to shadow banning which is either a lazy interpretation or deliberately misleading. De-amplification is obviously necessary and even Elon himself believes so twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

Somebody send these guys to Florida to talk to the beach goers. twitter.com/protectheflame…

The racism and violence against the Asian community is sickening. Every day, another heartbreaking story about people traumatized, hurt or killed. The news from Georgia today makes me sick to my stomach. Pure evil. #StopAsianHate

I know what you're thinking: “THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE STORIES!”. Yes, there are many similarities with the Stories format that will feel familiar to people. There are also a few intentional differences to make the experience more focused on sharing and seeing people’s thoughts.

Our investigation into the security incident is still ongoing but we'll be posting updates from @TwitterSupport with more detail soon. In the meantime I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for the disruption and frustration this incident has caused our customers. twitter.com/TwitterSupport…

we're starting to roll out RECORDING 🔴 for Spaces on iOS! twitter.com/TwitterSpaces/…
