- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.
Let’s gooooo. Take that garbage site out
Wonderful! May it stay that way forever.
But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
Do it again!
Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
Good riddance
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.
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.Or Bobby Droptables
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year… He is fucking dumb idiot.
Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don’t have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.
I like referring to it as xitter, pronounced “shitter”. What were once tweets are now steaming piles of xit. Or someone taking/dropping a xit.
X-crements
The toot for mastodon will always just make me roll my eyes.
I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.
The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.
It’s going to be so easy for him to turn that x into a swastika in a couple of years though. Its what’s known in tech circles as IED “iterative evil design”
Systemd now wants to do homedirs. Is that the same thing?
What do you mean “do” homedirs? Like be some kind of file system broker?
You are really surprised by a guy who wanted to name his car series S-E-X-Y and had a temper tantrum when model E was taken and he could not “buy” it.
I feel like most if not pretty much all of the value of Twitter was the name itself, and the recognition it had.
I had a cheeseburger for dinner. It was…… okay.
Disappointing cheeseburgers are the worst
I think it comes down to the patty at the end. If it’s a frozen patty, like a bubba burger, it can be cooked to perfection, but it requires constant attention to detail otherwise it’s either undercooked mush, or an overcooked grey thing. Generally patties that are hand made are more forgiving. But even then, I guess the cheese and bread involved are possible phases to one up or really detract from a burger. I think I’m just really hungry for a good burger and it’s late
Let it burn! It’s not our problem.
Oh no.
Anyway…
Interesting. Looking into this.
Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.
Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time
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.
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.
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Nazi’s
Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.
When you’ve lost the porn it’s game over man.
Since you seem to know what platform have they moved to generally?
Asking for a friend…
Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.
Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.
The Tumblr Effect
Nazis, I imagine.
And bots
Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.
I was just talking to a friend who’s very anti-nazi (at least, that’s what he says), told him that by staying there, he’s feeding the nazis. He says that he’s the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.
Ask him if he’d go to a nazi bar, and start a fist fight.
I mean, there’s no comparison. Punching Nazis is always cool, Twitter is just talking to them, which never is. You and fifty friends go on Twitter and dunk on Nazis all day and you’re still just at a table talking with the enemy. Take fifty friends to a Nazi bar and throw punches, you’ve just improved the neighbourhood.
My government emergency alerts :(
I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.
Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).
Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.
It’s behind a paywall and I’m not paying that Nazi.
Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon
Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.
Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.
Nazis, people who aren’t bothered enough that a Nazi owns it to leave it for Bluesky, and bots, lots of bots.
If we’re lucky it’s forever.
Says it was only 30 minutes in the description. Kinds weird they’re telling us about it and not including thst bit in the title.
They’re busy, collapse the data center support columns.
