OT: Twitter in Absolute Shambles

[hmt5000]

The "EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency" doesn't like free speech.

It's "not good for society. If Elon doesn't comply, there will be sanctions".

Got to control those sheep with the "progressive" narrative.

And a certain segment in the thread will blow this off as nothing. 10 years from now the goal post will be moved wayyyyy past normal and they will finally catch on. How about stopping while its just bad?

Elon may be forced to censor content for European users. Most of those dipshits willingly give up their freedoms to tyrants.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.

Be interesting to see how this goes.

Just shut it down for a month and see how European leaders are seen by the people.

Like most corrupt authoritarians, I’m sure Europeans leaders would love if an Avenue for widespread communication amongst the people was shut down.

[WTF Cat]

Liberals really are trying to normalize stupidity.

SMH lol...

 

[WTF Cat]

Another Dr. that gets it...

 

[WTF Cat]

Twitter is so great right now... but not just for allowing conservatives a voice... but for exposing the stupidity of the Left.

I give you:

He was the first person I heard raise the alarm on this issue. Most everyone else was worried about population explosion. He was right and it's going to be a big issue

I disagree... I think the world will be fine if population decreases. We'll adjust. What Japan is saying is that their entitlement structure will have an issue and the old people sitting around doing nothing will struggle.

The biggest issue I see is population increase of morons compared to the population decrease of smart people. So in that context, Japan losing population is a problem.

Nothing will happen.

I think that's the unspoken portion. It isn't just population decline. It's decline of certain population while others continue.

Either way, the importance of discussion and awareness of those topics is important. Before musk bought Twitter, the entire social media realm was nothing more than just propaganda

From your article.

2022:
He gave 11.6 million Tesla shares to unnamed charitable causes between August and December, according to a disclosure in February. The stock was worth about $1.9 billion, based on closing prices on the days it was donated.


2021:
In February 2022, it was widely reported that Elon Musk donated 5 million shares of Tesla Inc. worth $5.7 billion to an unnamed nonprofit in late 2021.


Unless he donated to The Human Fund, that's pretty generous.

 

[jtrue28]

I remember his tweets about that. His tax bill is massive, obviously, so what better way to reduce your bill.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

The lefty meltdown over twitter is over. Musk let them rant but did not give in to their petulance. This is how you stand up to them and hope we see more of the same. Kyle Tucker, hero-sportswriter, even came back.

The irony is that all their energy and hatred toward Musk, while misguided on the Twitter issue, was well deserved if they weren't blinded by their own ideologies.

For instance, the green weenies loved Tesla, not realizing he became rich on the backs of government subsidies which enabled him to buy Twitter. Don't they hate billionaires? Or just not left wing billionaires?

Further, him, and Cuban for that matter, could be guilty of stock manipulation, specifically in the crypto realm.

It didn't matter then, because Musk was one of them. Or was he? What a mixed up world we live in.

Oh look Twitter was broken yet again for hours today. Site stays broken more than it stays functional anymore

I think they're just shutting it down for morons. It's worked fine for me all along.

Also, LOL at sharing an anti-twitter tweet from someone with 800 followers and a link to their mastodon account in their screen name.

I'd swear you were trolling if I didn't already know you just aren't very bright.

I think you are full of crap - I don’t have a blue check and the only time gaps on my timeline are usually between 2-5am when no one is tweeting but if you can find the outage logs someone might believe your quotes that you try to cite.

How's Twitter's own support account work for you, numbnuts?



Or Elon Musk himself?

Internet observatory NetBlocks said the issue had affected image and video content too, in Twitter's sixth major outage in 2023, compared with three in the same period last year.
....

"Error messages supplied by Twitter's link sharing platform and internal API point to problems with the platform's microservices, which are having a knock-on effect on other aspects of the service," NetBlocks Director Alp Toker said.

"This suggests Twitter has not been effectively testing its updates before pushing them to the public," Toker told Reuters.

The layoffs and departures from Twitter have included many engineers responsible for responding to software bugs and other service issues, sources previously told Reuters.

Never worked for a company that ever had a defect or outage?
The latest one was an hour from 12-1pm - maybe if people were actually working instead of scrolling twitter all day and “quiet quitting” they barely would have noticed or cared.

I don't pay for twitter and I'm not from the mountains.

Typical yankee. Ignorant, condescending, and clueless.

The poster you are responding to is a defect.

Most people get lunch from 12-1 instead of working with no breaks in the sweat shops you run on child slave labor.

It runs worse but is probably way more profitable than it was. He definitely has people over the barrel because they can’t move their followers to a new platform.

Reading through several comments and I'd like to point out that both sides play victim, both sides spread (and continue to spread) false ******** on social media, and both sides claim victimhood. There's a talking point on this board that gets repeated that it's the left that's the problem. Understandable since most UK fans are conservative, but here's a list of things I've learned from this board over the last few years:

- teachers want to turn kids gay.
- adults upset because they weren't able to read some out-of-circulation Dr. Seuss books.
- the left is the enemy.
- blacks need to get their **** together because their problems are making things worse for everyone else and us whites are always blamed.
- only the left is racist.
- Derek Chauvin didn't get a fair trial.
- everything I don't like or agree with is woke.
- an insurrection isn't really an insurrection and if I see the word "insurrection" I must play which is worse? and turn the focus to riots.
- make up a gay lover story about a man who was hit with a hammer and laugh about what happened.
- trans people are pedos. In fact, if I disagree with a stranger, they're a pedo too.
- post photos from social media of a trans person and spread the false rumor here that they was a mass shooter because we don't like trans people and want to put one of them in a bad light.
- focus on drag shows and pretend it's the devil's doing

So, yeah, continue this make-believe idea that the left and only the left is the biggest problem our country faces, while largely laughing off or ignoring all this other crazy **** that gets posted weekly. Lotta people who post here on the reg should look in a mirror because neither side are heroes and you're sticking up for people who don't get a **** about you.

This thread is about twitter being in absolute shambles.

What thread are trying to post?

“Lunch break” [laughing] .

Ya take lunch when the morning work is done whether it’s 11, 12, 1, or 5 minutes cramming some **** down your throat because ya don’t have time to take a ****** hour. Unless you’re an hourly employee and required to punch out for x amount of time, in which case being hourly ****** sucks.

But I reckon.
