The Tech That Went Sh*tty: Twitter's First Employee on the Right to Exit and Open Protocols

Today we have a real treat for you! Rabble Evan Henshaw-Plath, Twitter’s first employee, reveals the chaotic, hackathon origins of the platform.

We unpack the critical concept of ‘inshitification’ and how new open-protocol platforms like Bluesky are designed to combat centralization by giving users the fundamental right to exit and maintain platform accountability.
