Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.

I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.

34 0 ReplyI went to Vienna for a conference for work in 2016. When I got back, I turned in my receipts, and the admin assistant helpfully typed up my reimbursement paperwork, carefully converting to USD from Australian dollars.

I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!
- You can control your data
- Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
- Third pro
of course there would be some work to host and mantain it, but it would surely be hella nice to have goverments and etc doing this stuff
