Many people on Twitter fear that the end of the platform may be near and therefore took to saying goodbyes to their friends and others. “RIP Twitter” has consequently been trending.
This follows a rash of resignations from the company by many of its staff who cannot face the new working conditions foisted on them by Elon Musk, the new owner of the company.
Recall that Musk sacked about half of the company’s workforce. He then imposed new, strict working conditions on the remaining staff.
Many of the remaining staff who are unable to stomach the new policies opted out.
“Twitter is shutting down” and “RIP Twitter” are trending following reports the platform is running a skeletal crew after many employees quit.
Many fear this signifies the beginning of the end for the platform and they are already saying their goodbyes to friends they made on Twitter.
Even Instagram’s official Twitter account tweeted about the shutdown.
“TBH we love Twitter,” Instagram wrote alongside a crying face emoji.
Another Twitter user wrote: “It should’ve been Facebook.”
