Paul MeekWell the functionality of Twitter has been strangled this afternoon, Australian time.
So poking my head back in here.
Cannot retrieve tweets at this time and being accused of being a spam account there.
Way to go, Elon #twitterdown
Saw that a good way to wrangle Mastadon is to follow hashtags directly, but that's done from the web itself rather than apps? I'll figure that out on laptop later tonight #wholenewworld
Mark Deasy 🍉@paulmeekperth if you see a hashtag you wish to follow, at least in my app I can click on it, then in the next page click on the +human icon, and viola.
Looking for explanations…@MarkDeasy @paulmeekperth Love a good viola.
kauer@paulmeekperth some apps support, it some don't. For Android, I know Tusky does.
Dr 'Hold-out' Stip@paulmeekperth yes you can follow hashtags when accessing from Web not app
wyvernsrose@paulmeekperth positively spectacular isn't it
@wyvernsrose there's a difference between sludgy latency and broken systems cos you fired all the experts, and actively burning the house down and chasing your users away 😆
@paulmeekperth oh absolutely the only shame is the way he did it there is nothing to watch burn
@wyvernsrose Tesla stock (the only company he has public still) is gonna tank on Monday if there isn't a hail mary miracle overnight 😆
@paulmeekperth BEAUTIFUL! you couldn't plan it better if you tried
Julie@paulmeekperth @wyvernsrose I know we are all rightly peeved, but his remaining advertisers must be apocalyptic.
@JulieMarshall @paulmeekperth I don't know I spent the last 6 months blocking them all
@JulieMarshall @wyvernsrose genius move
He's basically squashed the site the last 24 hours as finally as that submersible in the Atlantic
my feeds are still operating on facebook and technically twitter as those accounts don't view anything...
but I think I might suspend my service for a bit and maybe even consider whether or not I want to build new services
it seems governments are beginning to fill gaps... it costs me money to run, and I don't have the income I did to be able to just throw a bit at it
None if it generates income mostly personal projects... I slowed them alot after the social media defamation case for Dylan Voller
@paulmeekperth @JulieMarshall its just starting to seem insane to fork out for something that fundraises for research and educates as a pensioner doing it solo when people are monetising simplistic and harmful
Vicky@paulmeekperth I can’t see new tweets as of around 4pm can’t comment on tweets I can see and can’t dm 🤬 rate limit again but 👋
@vsky711 I think the whole system got fritzed about that time onwards
Joe_blogswa@paulmeekperth yep its rooted lol
Xyrer👨🏻💻@paulmeekperth I honestly wish he just burns twitter to the ground
@xyrer he actually may have this time 😬
