Attached: 2 images 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. #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS
From what I’ve read, he apparently declined to pay his bill to Google Cloud Platform (he also was not paying rent at his… headquarters? one of them, I dunno? in Colorado), so then they cut him off - which he apparently did not expect - so he unilaterally instituted an emergency rate-limit for all posts yesterday, which in turn caused embedded Twitter feeds to constantly keep trying to connect and get the content that it always has been able to before, and since it could not connect it just kept trying, over & over, over & over, over & over, over & over, over & over again.
He DDOS’d HIMSELF!:-P
What a stable genius he is showing himself off to be… /s
Though still smarter than Huffman, who followed him blindly despite the circumstances being totally different - like on the off-chance that Musk actually had a thought & a plan somewhere buried in there, what is Huffman’s excuse for following him? It reminds me of a particular Star Wars quote by Ben Kenobi actually… :-D
Musk and Spez are riding single-file, to hide their numbers? My god, there’s more of them??
LMFAO!
