Ah, una cosa molona de mastodon es que aquí se pueden seguir hastags, así que realmente tiene sentido usarlos.

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we're now working on getting our users to move over to Mastodon and other competing social media platforms.

Our end goal is to have zero traffic on our servers.

Please be patient while we are DDoSing our servers.

Happy Enshittification Day! 💥

July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...

A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.

Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!

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.
