/2 Day 179 some #Twitter users are attempting to sabotage the #ElonMusk’s #BlueCheck program. A lot of users not happy, trying to bend #Musk to their will rather than leave and migrate to #Mastodon

What does it take?

Months after @tagesschau and @ZDF from Germany, yet still one of the earlier public broadcaster here on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse: The #BBC has arrived.

Also with their own instance, just as pioneered by @heiseonline 😉

It's an experiment for six months and their first accounts are:
@BBCRD
@BBC5Live
@BBCRadio4
@BBCTaster
@Connected_Studio
@BBC_News_Labs

Let's welcome them!

Twitter folks, there is a way to make Mastodon feel like home more UI wise: #MastodonBirdUI, an interface that resembles the Twitter UI.

Many instances support Mastodon Bird UI (like mstdn.social under the theme "Elephant" in your settings) and you can also use it via browser extension.

One more time with feeling

Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.

Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person. Oh, but it's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

Don't forget, #AllThingsTech has our own Discord server for those that are looking to hang out and chat outside of Mastodon.

We feel that there are often times that longer, more in-depth conversations are wanted/needed and Discord is a great place to have those conversations.

It's a great place to give us feedback about our server to help make it a better place.

Come join here if you'd like as we'd love to have anyone and everyone!
