I rewatched a 2015 tweet thread get someone fired, then saw the same joke posted last month with zero backlash
A food writer named Dana lost her column at a Seattle paper in 2019 over a tweet from 4 years earlier. I went back and read the whole thread. It was a bad joke, sure, but it got 12 likes when she posted it. Someone dug it up after she wrote a piece about a chef, and she was gone in 3 days. Last month a bigger account made almost the same joke and got 40k likes with nobody mad. So what changed in 5 years? Is it the joke, or is it who decides which old post gets the shovel?

Not the joke. The pile on. Nobody wanted to be the one defending her back then, now nobody cares enough to dig.
