The very best of 'hell-site': Users bid Twitter farewell amid shutting down rumours

Hundreds of Twitter employees are estimated to be leaving the beleaguered social media company following an ultimatum from new owner Elon Musk that staffers sign up for "long hours at high intensity," or leave.

Now that the rumours are rife of the app completely shutting down, we see the very best of Twitter as the users gear up to bid the micro-blogging website farewell. 

Here are some of the best tweets we found:

The next generations will never know!

Moving to other platforms:

It's now or never, folks!

'Nothing like this hell-site'

We chuckled!

Musk was meeting some top employees to try and convince them to stay, said one current employee and a recently departed employee who is in touch with Twitter colleagues.

While it is unclear how many employees have chosen to stay, the numbers highlight the reluctance of some staffers to remain at a company where Musk has hastened to fire half its employees including top management and is ruthlessly changing the culture to emphasise long hours and an intense pace.
