So... aren't these wannabe twitter competitors going about the whole thing bass-ackwards?

I saw a broadly similar article the other day about some sort of shakeup in the Mastodon board of directors.

It's as if they think the way do do an internet startup is to first appoint a board of directors and hire a raft of executives, then... um... you know... um... do some business... kinda... stuff....

bass-ackwards

is this how kids say ass-backwards now, or is this an attempt to avoid the (nonexistent) lemmy profanity filters lol

I've heard it "bass-ackwards" way more than "ass-backwards", for decades

It's basically ass-backwards said ass-backwards.
