With Twitter Services Limited And Unreliable, Americans Turn To “Books” To Determine Whether Jews Fabricated Red Cross Blood Drives As Part Of Great Replacement

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.

Twitter shut itself down on the first day of Q3 and we're supposed to believe that this is about anything other than a free cash flow crunch?

Anyone check whether Google Cloud finally cut Elon off due to nonpayment?

Hope all is well. Saw you're not on twitter anymore.

Note that the J6C Report begins where only a handful of reporters have gone: with the words of the actual rioters. You need that to prove incitement but TV lawyers said it was all a waste of time.

Hey all. Having a problem with my account. I don't believe it's the server. I may have to try to migrate back to my original mastodon.social account. 😔 I have no idea wtf I'm doing. If I do have to migrate back, I will follow all of you back. In the meantime, have a great weekend.

Elon Musk threatened legal action, changed Twitter’s rules and suspended journalists’ accounts after a confrontation involving his security team at a gas station. But the incident’s timing and location cast doubt on a link to the @ElonJet account. https://wapo.st/3jaDabg
Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

I built a site where you drop in your Twitter archive zip file and it spits out a zip file of a website where your public tweets and threads are searchable. The tool, and extensive details, are here:

Example archive built with it: https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/

Twitter archiver

A simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets

At this rate only bots are going to be left at twitter
The guy who just disallowed links to any and all competitors also tweeted this just six months ago. #twitter #musk
