With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It’s been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

    “Google Cloud hosts many of Twitter’s trust and safety services. If the disagreement isn’t resolved by the end of the month, and if Twitter severs ties with Google Cloud, this could seriously threaten its ability to fight spam, remove child sexual abuse material and generally protect accounts.”

    So, it only breaks things that are vitally important for Twitter, as well as legally mandated, but not anything Musk actually cares about…

    I’m gonna be honest, as someone who couldn’t give less of a crap what happens to Twitter, it’s just hilarious at this point. This is the kind of dumpster fire that warms your hands when it’s really cold out, so you just keep coming back to look at it.

        The login-block appears to be exasperating the issue, by creating a pull loop, they are DDOS-ing themselves. ~source

        They turned off non logged in people, to save resources and it caused the opposite effect, too bad they fired all those developers.

      I used it a bit. It was pretty great for things like following a podcaster you liked.

      Musk has made it super toxic. Most of the people that I’d follow have left or cut their posting down to zero.

      Are you saying we can’t have a little fun watching Elon slowly destroy his new 44 billion dollar toy?
