The genius God Emperor of Twitter has turned off microservices that control 2FA verification. Don't log off if you have 2FA and change back to regular verification through email or text. He doesn't know how the website works. JFC. #Mastodon #birdapp
@doloresquintana And so it continues 😮
@stux True. Everyday it's just another WTH is he doing? I just can't.
@doloresquintana I am the only true God
@diosito I am just making fun of him. He claims to love the book Dune, so that's really why I call him that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Emperor_of_Dune

@doloresquintana good advice!
@yoshilog Yeah, I was reading it and I was like, omg, people need to know.
@doloresquintana I can’t remember the last time I found a situation so funny. Jesus Christ the guy is actually a total moron isn’t he
@czarelena He's a complete dipshit. The only thing he's good at is convincing people he's a genius. It's like Trump.
@doloresquintana There will be a lot of people that log out, and can't get back in. Delete the app. Can't get back in. Give up.
@robfielding Yep. It's almost like that's what he wants? But I don't know if I am giving him too much credit.
@doloresquintana I wonder what all his crypto bros are gonna do now that they can't re-signin. I read the senators thread where the ass replies that the senators account seems to be parody. It's like he's Trump or something. They both can do no wrong. I wonder what the 2fa excuse will be.
@chickenhat That's what I have always thought about him. I think he's just like Trump. He wants power and wants to be in charge, but he really stupid. He thinks he's a genius, but he has no idea what he's doing. He had a plan to put people into indentured servitude on Mars. He's a fascist wanna-be dictator.
@doloresquintana Thanks for keeping me up to date with the wise decisions of his holyness. It is just the right distance now with my birdaccount deleted ;)
@doloresquintana It doesn't seem real. I feel like I am being spoofed.
@RochelleWinsLife It's so weird. It's like we are in a different reality.
It’s really melting down rapidly. @soda
@iklein 因为这些都是从推上看到的我现在都推上搞了一个takeover list看八卦了
I suppose that logging back will cost people $8 @doloresquintana 
@frayoshi Probably. I wonder if it's an accident or if it's part of his so-called master plan.
@doloresquintana I think that being an Elon Musk hater is the perfect way to earn followers in Mastodon, don't you think?
@phyro_knight I have no idea. I'm just getting to know the site even though I originally joined it back in 2018. I can only guess that there might be some fans of Elon Musk here, but who knows?
@phyro_knight Elon is actively doing everything he can to make people hate him.
@doloresquintana I would say "negatively interested". "Hate" is always a personal choice.
@phyro_knight Nope. He's showing everyone the bratty baby man that he really is and that he's not the genius he pretends to be. People are starting to truly loathe him.
@doloresquintana oh you can hate and loath as much as you want.
It's a very productive feeling as far as I hear 😅
@phyro_knight It's incredibly productive.
@doloresquintana Edit that and put in front sthing like that "A new research shows that..." 😅🤣
Good like with the production!😭
@phyro_knight Why would I do that? Remember, anger is an energy. https://youtu.be/jPj-8_wOZcA

@doloresquintana I remember Son Goku saying that. Yeah.
@doloresquintana
Twitter has acute muskitis.
@RedSV hopefully there's a cure.
@doloresquintana
Muskectomy is preferred 🩺

@doloresquintana

Apart from this being pretty funny, I am curious how many people log out from the app.

@earl You know, I'm kind of interested too. I very rarely log out, because not the type of site that you need to log out of, especially if you check it a lot.
@doloresquintana
From what I understand it is only SMS 2fa that's failing, and for some of us the email verification needed for.. archiving.
TOTP & fido2 appear to be working
@Joris Here's an update. It seems that some SMS MFA services are working again. Yes, it was SMS MFA and that's why it was recommended that people switch to email from SMS MFA because SMS MFA, the more common verification that people use was borked, and people were getting locked out of their accounts. https://www.androidauthority.com/twitter-sms-2fa-3234698/
Elon Musk just ended Twitter SMS 2FA (Update: Appears to be back up for some)

If you use Twitter SMS 2FA — which sends you a text to prove who you are when you log in — you probably should add another method.

@doloresquintana
Ta. Have never tried sms 2fa for all reasons but the dumpster fire looks quite real. Quite a wake up call for all social media
@Joris I'm reading more about it now. It's like he read through a list of microservices, decided they were the problem and turned off SMS MFA without realizing what he did. He also fired the developer who told him what the problem was when he griped publicly on Twitter about it. Then he fired him when someone made a crack about the dev's response. It's bigger than a dumpster fire, it's a dumpster fire planet.
@doloresquintana I really just feel for the employees of Twitter. They are talented engineers developers and the like and they have to suffer with morons like him in charge
@doloresquintana the "Genius God of Twitter" omg you made my day! THANK YOU 😂
@ulli 😂 Thank you. He claims to be a big fan of Frank Herbert's Dune, so I couldn't resist.
@doloresquintana it feela sad, Twitter has value and it is being squandered in such a foolish way. My only joy is that we start to see that the emperor wears no clothes
@benlloydjones It is very important for news and for people who want to promote their work. Organizing protests and such. That's what makes me so mad at Elon. He's really messing up something that is worth a lot and can really help people. He's a turd.
@doloresquintana I don’t really understand this kind of mindset. He’s just making weird choices, I’ve read in recent news that he fired software engineers just because they were arguing on social media sites about his behaviour.
@Splice7567 He had his managers comb through social media and the company slack for anyone who criticized him and had them fired. He tried to pull the hardcore move and out of 50 developers, only 10 accepted the new terms. He had to relax the new no remote work rule and is having in-person meetings to convince some of the top developers not to quit.
@Splice7567 He's stupid and he's a bully who always gets his way because he's Mr. Billionaire. It's rare that someone tells him no, so he expected everyone to knuckle under, but devs can easily get work elsewhere with perks and without having to deal with a tyrant.
@doloresquintana For companies to understand that developers don’t need to work in an office to do their job (I am a developer too), it took a pandemic to create at least a hybrid method of working. Now with Mask’s decisions, Twitter is moving backwards instead of moving forward and before this mess the employees were working 5 days out of 5 fully remotely not the opposite. Mask’s excuse was that Twitter was wasting money for the cafeteria because most people were working from home.
@Splice7567 Exactly. It's a really weird complaint too. Sounds like an excuse.
@doloresquintana
Also, it's too late to download an archive of your data because, after it's generated, you have to enter your password and complete the 2FA which will never, ever, come.
@AnonymooseGuy I did post this two weeks ago, so I am not current on the 2FA situation. It came back online for some.
