ALTIT 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.
Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness
Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?
THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT
I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible
Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together
I love that this post doesn't include the actual text of his tweet, just his impending presence. This is the visual equivalent of a scare chord.
I just wanted to make a PSA to anyone who has a Twitter, that now anyone who isn’t on Twitter will not be able to see your posts anymore, on desktop or mobile, even if your tweets aren’t private.
I have been watching it lock down from the outside for some time now:
First, it started out with the inability to infinitely scroll someone’s page without getting a pop up like in the first pic, but then if you pressed the x, you could continue.
Then the x disappeared and had no easy workarounds. So scrolling was permanently limited.
Then, you could no longer search for terms without getting a pop up; you could still search for people, but that was it. If you pressed the x on the pop up that happened while searching for terms, it would either infinitely spin and never take you anywhere, or throw you back to your previous page.
Then, the search bar ceased to exist except to take you to trending, and you could not search for either people or terms.
Now, you simply can’t view any post or page on Twitter at all unless you have an account.
If you want a social media account that all your fans and friends can access and view whether or not they have an account, do not choose Twitter as your main location. No one but other Twitter users will be able to see it.
Also even if you HAVE an account you can no longer see tweets past a certain amount because Elong has decided to unfree the speech. You can pay to get more but it’s still not unlimited access!
