    Is Blind some kind of a discussion board? I’m not familiar with it. Is there a way to know for sure this person works for Twitter?

      It’s where a lot of tech employees hang out. You have to verify that you have an email address with the company’s domain to post, but otherwise super anonymous. It can be super toxic and you see a lot of fake posts, plus your account isn’t revoked after you leave the company, but the original OP definitely has/had a Twitter email address.

        Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_(app)

        Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.

      It’s been a long time since I was on blind but I recall them asking you to provide your work email to verify your employer. Don’t recall them actually sending anything so not entirely sure how it verified. Blind is definitely a mixed bag of a platform, super toxic with people dick measuring over TC but also decent for getting word of what’s coming your way (layoffs, etc)
