Nobody has to be on Twitter. Fuck that.

But my business!

No. What you’re telling me is that you have no risk management plan. That your business plan (or lack thereof) has a single point of failure.

So you don’t have to be on Twitter.

You played Capitalism poorly, and you landed on Chance, and you drew “Go Directly to Elon Jail.”

This is a shitty fucking game. I want it to die in a fire.

But please fucking admit YOUR choices are why you are on Twitter. It’s not beyond your control.

@mstine How many businesses have Google as a single point of failure? My friend works for a non profit whose founder suddenly died. Getting control of the Google account has been an ordeal, because google has virtually no customer service.

@JetForMe probably far too many. This one is pretty scary actually. I’ve heard a lot of stories. If I were a small business, I wouldn’t have my data anywhere near Google. Even without the death of a primary account holder, stuff can get locked up with little to no recourse.

@mstine Yup. I generally avoid what I call “Swiss army knife” solutions. Like Google or 365 or Firebase or Alamofire.
