ScalziI don't want to use Mastodon just to complain about other social media networks but HOLY FUCK is Twitter ever screwing the pooch at the moment.
Rui Carmo@scalzi the only thing missing is the fail whale. I think Elon fired it as well.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈

@scalzi eh. we used it for that before the Elon-times too ;)
Tom Bellin 
@scalzi It is a great platform for complaining about other social media networks.
RJD@scalzi ah what now??
ſames Ƨtiffler@scalzi The 4 billion character limit rollout for the Blue Checks doesn't seem to be going according to plan.
kaitou@scalzi I noticed. It said I hit the limit on my only post of the day.

Will Smith@scalzi It's a new fuckup every single day.

Truer words, etc. etc...
A. Rivera@scalzi You are not kidding indeed.
Add: oh darn, saw you on Twitter about losing the DM's, and I just looked and saw mine are gone too. Many that pooch is seriously getting gangbanged over there.
Evelyn 
@scalzi Oh yea. It's hosed.
Philip Weiss (Phil in SF)@scalzi It's okay. We know we're only the backup date.
Stefan Shepherd@scalzi You decide to get rid of character counts on your social media platform and see what happens...
moved to tech.lgbt@scalzi Glad you're here!
JdeBP@scalzi The local timeline of https://MastodonApp.UK has just been hit by a load of posts, because everyone wants to report this news.
But the #TwitterDown hashtag has exploded. And that despite most people on the local timeline not using it. (-:
Don't forget what the time was in Japan when this started, either.
JdeBP (@[email protected])
It is currently just past 07:00 local time on 2023-02-09 in Tokyo. People have been reporting #TwitterDown problems since the turn of the hour. As I said last week in https://mastodon.scot/@JdeBP/109800930710435339 about the #TwitterAPI "Don't worry. It will just abruptly stop working on you, on the 9th." And so #Twitter has. (-:
Karen@scalzi oh are you over your daily limit too??? 😂 what a gong show
Darwin Woodka@scalzi hey, that's not cool
Joshua Hunter@scalzi you can get around it by scheduling tweets. 😂
Lee Kelly@scalzi That quote-tweet-using-URL workaround you just suggested doesn’t seem to work for me. Maybe it’s a blue tick thing…
The Lovely and Talented@scalzi Cam confirm. I just tried to tweet the word “fart,” my first tweet in over a month.
Nick@scalzi Elon Musk has WAY too much power.
Andy Daitsman@scalzi Evergreen tweet.
Blue Appaloosa@scalzi Don't know about you, but even scheduling tweets isn't working for me at this point. I can schedule them, but they don't actually post.
Guess we'll see!
Josh (he/his)But isn't that like 90% of what Mastodon is now?
Noel Romey@scalzi When haven't they been screwng it all up? For well ... maybe four months at least? Jerks
Mike Zipser (he/him)
Pete@scalzi
It's cool, man, you can come on over and make some more k.d. lang recommendations any time you want.

SvetlanaTwitter is a pathetic social media network ruined by Musk. I've experienced it firsthand on several occasions.

Hey, I saw your note regarding the apparent invisibility/removal of DMs and checked. Mine are also gone, at least for now - so I guess the sentimental reasoning I had for not deleting the last few (chats with a deceased friend) was silly in the end, as it turns out that one can't trust That Guy to do anything as far-fetched as retaining a few k of info.

Stop That@scalzi I don’t mind people complaining about twitter here, because that’s how I found out that twitter is currently stroking out right now.
Jeff M@scalzi there are so many other things you can complain about here too
James Fallows@scalzi Yeah I've heard it's down to allowing Twitter Blue users to post 2,000 character tweets.
We want from 140 to "Sure you can post a small book's worth if you pay me"
Alex O. Diaz@scalzi Yep that's how I feel about this.
Dynomoose@scalzi how’s smudge? Is Athena on here yet? I miss her baked goods and squishmallows
At... at the moment?

Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@scalzi Two scenarios:
1) they forgot to exclude the official app and website from the API restrictions.
2) their cloud provider is on the list of companies not paid.

FaceEatingKoala@scalzi But came here for this
Jillian Priese@scalzi your opinion seems less complaint and more observation.
Armando@scalzi it’s why we are over here tho
