twitter saw reddit killing itself and decided to speedrun an attempt lol. I randomly hit the rate limit before going to bed without even realizing it was a thing. Thought it was just some twitter error. Woke up, still can't use twitter, but I'm getting news elsewhere about it. like damn they fucked up. I just can't use twitter today.

It's hilarious and sad to see centralised social media platforms killing themselves in real-time (and unofficially endorsing decentralised social media platforms for those who care)

Elon and his righteous quest to kill Twitter.
And it's good. Literally Don Quixote of our times.

@Silverseren Not that I have been active much on there since October anyways, but this is honestly just ridiculous. Like it isn't hardly usable at this point. 🤦

Strange that Facebook seems to be the only stable old player now.
