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.

Top takeaways:

1. WMF can do more to understand the environmental impacts of remote work.

2. While business travel resumed in 2022, WMF is still well below pre-pandemic levels of travel despite significant growth in our workforce.

3. Wikipedia continues to grow as a critical resource for education and awareness about the climate crisis.
