Oh no. Anyway...

If for some reason you or anyone you know is still using Twitter now is the time to take advantage of the outage and urge people to leave Twitter permanently. Tell your friends about alternatives to Twitter such as Bluesky and Mastodon.

I'm sorry but can't we just leave most of them there?

If they come to the good platforms they'll just make them shitty as well.

Quite frankly, at this point I really want Musk to achieve his goal of getting humans to Mars. That way, he can take all his horrible followers and leave the rest of us here so we can actually work to fix this place.

They become shit when doing so makes them more money - eventually temptation wins. There is less temptation when a platform is open source (libre) because someone else can come along and host practically the same platform but minus the anti-features.

And nothing of value was lost

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

It’s still around? I would have shut it down a long time ago.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 34 points 4 hours ago

Pretty sure one of the first things musk did was kill off an entire (or more than one?) data centre. Pointing out with glee that it worked fine without it.

This is probably why it existed.

Still it's only twitter. No real loss.

Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?

Who would have thought that gutting the technical expertise of the company would lead to such vulnerabilities. 🤔

Ohh right... everyone with more than a few brain cells!

[–] fluckx@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

But look at all these cost savings! I made the company profitable /s

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

No.....no it still has a 44 billion dollar hole to climb out of first.

why would media matters do this????

Is he going to blame the Ukraine again?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ukraine. Not "the Ukraine". Just "Ukraine". Adding "the" in front is a russian thing to diminish Ukraine as a country. It would be like Americans calling it "the Mexico".

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

But it is the Mexico. Unlike other mexicos. Looking at you new mexico.

Though you are absolutely right. And it's more than just things like that which are normalized through innocuous seeming language.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ukraine, liberals, trans people, communists, George Soros. He'll pick one at random to blame.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Only one? "Ukrainian liberal trans communists" is probably pretty high up there in his scapegoat list.

Do I care that it’s happening? No. Do I enjoy hearing about Musk’s toys being broken? Absolutely.
