Reminder that if people come here from Twitter right now, they want to join a community, not get lectured on their posting style. Let’s be as welcoming as we can be.
I do know that my Twitter is an echo chamber. Sure hope that doesn’t happen here HAHAHA
Kinda understanding what this is about. Bit by bit. Let’s see how my whole experience goes.
oh look a place where you’re not rate limited on reads
I’m new to this platform. No clue what it’s all about but very interesting!

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.
