Steven T. DennisTwitter is now broken for real right now. Feeds and search not working. #TwitterDown.
Sustained outages would be the kind of thing that risks brings Twitter in a major way. Or an alternative that achieves similar scale and better functionality (which does not yet exist - Mastodon has much smaller scale and much worse functionality for news especially. It can be better for civilized conversations and niches).
spherulitic@steventdennis I hope that Mastodon recreates the news functionality of Twitter eventually. It’s a collective action problem, and Twitter had years after it started to become that incredible information sharing tool.
That said, I appreciate your presence here, thank you!
