Bird app doing the fun thing where it decides to implode.
@osinttechnical I am going to put money on this being actual Elno code.
@osinttechnical Please consider actively using Mastadon or at least cross posting. I follow you on Twitter.

@ace_jefferson @osinttechnical +1 to this.

Ukraine news is the only reason I even have Twitter on my phone. Would way rather get it here.

@osinttechnical @GuidoKuehn posted this but I feel it's appropriate.

@osinttechnical

Musk really outdid himself this time.

And it's kinda funny to see when people discover this is not a bug but a feature.

@osinttechnical seemed inevitable with elmo at the helm tbh
@osinttechnical At least I got to see a Leo 2 with ERA before it died.
@osinttechnical it appears Twitter is DDOSing itself ๐Ÿ‘€ https://sfba.social/@sysop408/110639435788921057

Attached: 2 images This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour. #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

@osinttechnical Like a carbon fibre sub in the Marianas Trench
@osinttechnical There's a number of accounts of OSINT types I really, really wish to find around here. Can't you bring them over?
@osinttechnical when you consider how far its sunk.. I mean.. we just* had an object lesson ๐Ÿ™„
@osinttechnical
It's DDOSing itself, possibly as a result of services hosted on Google Cloud being unavailable because Elmo refuses to pay Twitter's bills.

@osinttechnical

If only there was an OSINTtechnical focused on business intelligence.

If that person were to do forensics, that person would note that twitter owed money to google yesterday.

And that person would observe that the people who were capable of doing a complete move back to twitter DCs and buy equipment were no longer on the payroll.

@osinttechnical Yah, for 5 mins it told me I was rate restricted and then it just plain refused to load anything.
@osinttechnical I wish more from the osint community would move to mastodon. Some already have, many are still missing
@ltz @osinttechnical What other good OSINT accounts are on Mastodon?

@osinttechnical Considering situation with Twitter, I would suggest at least posting here one or two most important news from last day here daily from now out.

I can understand crossposting everything would be too much hassle, but one or two daily surely is doable?

@osinttechnical Imploding, all the rage among billionaires right now.
@osinttechnical Do post there to everyone to go Masto and amend profile accordingly.
@osinttechnical New to the platform. Can anyone recommend good Osint accounts to follow on here. My Twitter is stacked with them but as we all know the issues with that. Thanks.
@osinttechnical yup just opened an account here 30 mins ago. Time to abandon the twitter ship.
@osinttechnical Been a user since 2009. What a shame. Completely unusable for now.
@osinttechnical welcome back, please stay
@osinttechnical Thank you for cross posting & please continue! The OSINT community has to get over its Twitter addiction.
@osinttechnical please tell your other osint friends to come here too. It's THE chance to leave shitter forever
@osinttechnical this site has had a year to get a better UI and it's still trash
@osinttechnical hope you seriously consider staying here. Twitter is done. We need updates from Ukraine here. Cheers
@osinttechnical Good to have you back. ๐Ÿ‘ Hopefully more will realise Twitter cannot be trusted.
@osinttechnical the bird app is unstable and feels bulky

@osinttechnical

Itโ€™s a broken airport toilet no one is coming to fix

@osinttechnical Elon noticed other rich people implode the platform they were on, so he didn't want to be left out
@osinttechnical welcome back to a less loony place :)
@osinttechnical
Welcome back! Hope it's for good this time ;)
@osinttechnical In my opinion, it is much better for people in your line of work or journalism to use decentralized social media. Right not you are reliant on tbe whims of a single person who is demonstrably petty and willing to kowtow to authoritarians. Plus his support for Ukraine publicly is murky and is unknown privately
