oh thats a death knell
I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.
IT GETS WORSE!
"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."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
It gets worse
This is so comically bad I don’t how to explain it to people who aren’t chronically online l😂😂😂
I mean people of a certain age use Twitter for everything from talking to friends to getting news
Its like, imagine if your tv just turned off after you watched it for two hours and couldn't be turned back on from 24 hours
No it's absolutely terrible. There are people who freelance and are artists who do most of their finding of work on Twitter.
It really sucks for those people.

I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo
but its really sad that we're losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I'm going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i've made because of this and it sucks
Man I hope today’s twitter thing is just temporary because otherwise that site is fucking cooked.
Y’all see the shit he pulled today? You can only load like 300-600 tweets a day before Twitter completely locks you out of reading any new posts or making searches for a whole ass like 24hours I guess
Yeah these numbers he’s giving are bogus, I logged into my main acc and maybe scrolled my tl for 3 minutes + clicked on a few different tweets and I was already locked out. I think this is a cap on how many tweets just load for you at a given time in general so if you open a thread with a boatload of comments you just get fucking vaporized instantly
lmfao everyone’s skeddadling onto bluesky so fast their servers are exploding and they had to disable signups. amazing
bluesky also allows hate groups on their platform, sadly...
oh my fucking god they have a racism level switch

Perfection. The softness. In its eyes.
The two adhd people conversation with both constantly saying, "this is off topic" like it's okay, this is the off topic support group.
david tennant could do sherlock holmes but benendict cumberbatch couldn't do the doctor. also benedict cumberbatch couldn't do sherlock holmes
this is hard proof that tumblr has gotten better because if I had made this post in 2015 I would have gotten several death threats by now
