No one cares

Who even uses this scumbags platform

The whole site has been in disrepair for the past 3 years, and with all the breaches and issues lately, this downtime included, you can see the result clearly.

If it makes you guys feel even better, just know that such failure to maintain software for so long, mostly complex and widely used like Xitter, means that it won't get fixed easily at all. The knots are everywhere and will require even more time to untangle. Musk destroys everything he touches and I am at least happy about "this" one.

This is so frustrating!!!

Temporarily???

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Sweaty, stank-ass armpit if the internet. In a trench, doused in gasoline and set ablaze is the only outcome I will accept.

Tens of thousands of users? Or tens of thousands of bots?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 12 points 4 hours ago

The only thing I don’t like about this is the word “temporarily”. Oh well.

I find the nazis fascinating for their ability to co-opt symbols like the swastika. Could you imagine that happening today? Taking, for instance, the peace sign, punisher symbol, or Gadsden flag and turning them into quiet hate symbols?

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wait, what did they do to the peace sign? Also, what about the hand signal?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 49 minutes ago

They tried to get it for a minute after the okay hand sign. Succeeded for a bit before it was relinquished

Oh, no. What a tragedy! Call Trump. Send cavalry. Hide kids! Twitter is down!!!

Musk will arrive on site any time now, and fix all of it with his chainsaw.
He just needs an extra dose of his meds first.

And nothing of value to humanity was lost.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Why are there still 10s of any users on that hellwash of a platform?
