@freemo Totally blind. Know abou the badge issue at Twitter. It's interesting that there are actual measurable outage spikes now on Twitter. What happens when the curve goes totally vertical. Asymtotic death of twitter will be ... intersting? Sad?
@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.comWhat happens if we become influencers on Mastodon. Better yet, what happens if we become influences on Mastodon. I could handle that.
@freemo Have things really started breaking? Can't see the graphs so was curious what's disintegrating as ew speak
@Doug73 It does, sadly

Who thought last month that the Democratic control of Congress would outlast Twitter? #Twitpocalypse #ElonIsNotAGenius

Local news just called #Twitter a $44 billion dumpster fire - couldn’t agree more.
@Doug73 Seriously dude? You polluted my brain with this? I will never be the same.
What am I doing wrong re: searching. if I enter in a hash tag manually like #introduction or something like that, I get no results.
@ChipWhitehouse @ChipWhitehouse Because when you see just @your username, or @someone else's username without a domain, you're seeing someone on the same instance you're on. You'll see this in your local timeline especially
@TJ_dacks What does it do when you try to follow the account? I haven't had any problems provided I have the correct address.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.
Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

Oh no I forgot to find a girlfriend before Twitter ended
@luxalptraum Thanks for your alt text descriptions of your photos. Not everyone remembers to do it, but for blind people like me, those descriptions are invalvuable.
Reading my Twitter feed is kind of like sitting at an internet patient's deathbed. When will the obituaries start happening? At least I can post mine here.
From Twitter after requesting the archive: "We received your request. To protect your account, it can take 24 hours or longer for your data to be ready." I wonder how many requests they're getting now. Maybe my request will be the one that kills the server. #whoops
Noel Romey: I can log into twitter with my security key but I can't request an archive with the key? That's ultra awesome. #TwitterExplosionThursday
@freemo Smile, and tell them to have a good day. Everybody's got stuff going on.
@freemo Everyone seems quite friendly as far as what I'm finding. Only the uncool fear science, questions, and good conversation right?
@freemo Nice. Thanks. Enjoying the instance for sure.
