Note to any followers considering switching to bluesky, Dorsey has endorsed RFKjr which, for me, is a good reason not to be on his new platform. Having been Jacked once I have no desire to repeat the experience. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4034584-ex-twitter-leader-jack-dorsey-endorses-rfk-jr-for-president/

Ex-Twitter leader Jack Dorsey endorses RFK Jr. for president

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared to endorse anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Democratic presidential nomination over the weekend. Dorsey retweeted a video of Kennedy saying he could beat former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who announced his bid for the White House on Twitter last month. Dorsey captioned…

I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

That Bairstow dismissal is specifically allowed under Australia's FTA with the UK. Another win for Brexit!

LT: I see people moving to Bluesky. That's the new platform from Jack Dorsey, a white cishet male techbro who couldn't be bothered to ban Nazis and TERFS, who couldn't be bothered to investigate queerphobia and did fuck all about COVID misinformation.

But you dare suggest that a Conservative who can't resist shooting his unprotected load into any women he can might benefit from castration and your ass gets suspended like lightning.

He's nailed his colours to the mast. Don't support him or his projects, he isn't doing it for Queers, disabled people and people of colour. He's doing it for his own ego and to try and screw people for more data and money.

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.
