    Tanked reputation, loyal user base gone like the window, no 3rd party support what so ever and the face of the company making a total ass out of himself. Yeah sure, if you call that a ‘win’

      They still have a lot of traffic. So yeah, they did win.

      But you know who else won? The Fediverse. This place feels really active now and has the added benefit of feeling just a bit more wholesome.
