San Francisco: Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said on Sunday that running the microblogging platform was “difficult” after Twitter owner Elon Musk introduced limits on reading posts on the platform.
“Running Twitter is hard. I don’t want that pressure on anyone,” Dorsey tweeted.
He further said that the team had pulled out all the stops within the constraints they were facing and “it’s been huge”.
“It’s easy to criticize these decisions from a distance … I feel guilty about that … but I know our goal is to see Twitter thrive. It will,” he added.
Dorsey also expressed the hope that the Twitter team would consider leveraging open protocols such as Bitcoin and Nostr to help ease the burden.
“It’s good for everyone and is critical to maintaining an open internet,” he added.
Several users voiced their thoughts on Dorsey’s post.
When one user said: “Twitter is the only social app that’s decent. Instagram, Facebook. TikTok are all cringeworthy stuff.”
“Agreed,” Dorsey replied.
Another user commented: “Slightly subtle jab lol. Saying Twitter isn’t booming right now.”
“Not at all. It always had unparalleled potential. Still does,” replied the former Twitter CEO.
Dorsey’s statement came a day after Twitter owner Elon Musk said there was a temporary limit on who could read how many posts in a day to prevent data scraping and system manipulation.
