Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.
insert ‘oh no, anyway’ meme here
As you wish.
I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.
I couldn’t figure out how to post a gif so I appreciate it!
The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
Couldn't happen to Mastodon.
I'll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.
I assume we're in a similar boat so let me assure you: no, you won't - because we wouldn't even realize it happened.
Only after s few months one of us will recall this thread and be like "oh, yeah. Twitter. Seems really dead finally. Good."
And to be clear I expect they person to be you because my memory is awful.
Oh, that's why xcancel was returning 502
nitter.net is back, by the way.
Yaaay!
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.
When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

Nothing of value was lost.
Let it burn! It's not our problem.
I still can't believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
"Twitter", with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that's solid gold branding... It's insane to randomly "go a different direction" and then land at "X". If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I'd resign then and there.
Changing their name to "X" was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.

Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.

Oh no. So anyway, tonight we're having a stereotypical American meal that takes 25 minutes off your life; Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. It's quite good, everything made from scratch since I don't have a job anymore. How about you?

Looks like yippidy dipshit is on a great losing streak, space x, the recession, now this.
And tesla stock going into the gutter.
Its been down at my house for a while now.
It was never up in this house.
Good riddance
This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.
I wouldn't be too quick to rule out mismanagement from an incompetent owner.
Remember that america is now run by said incompetence with illegal firings and mass slash and burn tactics to raze the entire establishment

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.
Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

Weird that they said "only" half an hour. Thats a really long time
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
Didn't Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.

Do it again!
DDoS attacks are illegal, but what is the legal amount of times a person can call a website? I'm sure enough people doing just a few calls per second couldn't get a person into too much trouble. Has the law even defined the difference?

God I hope there's some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.
Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot
