#twitterimplosion — Public Fediverse posts

@mattpotter 🎯 summary of the #TwitterImplosion #TwitTitanic I’ve read - the best gift Santa can give all of us is a #Twitter free Xmass!

@paul

There is a difference between #GoogleImplosion and #TwitterImplosion

It has taken Google 2 decades, whereas Twitter managed to pull it off in less than one year.

Genius!

Elon Musk isn’t failing to pay rent and bills because of his business acumen.

@ai6yr

How can the users engage when they get rate-limited because they were reading?

They can not.

The end is near. #TwitterImplosion #Hospice

@lauren

I have to wonder if the entire point of the #TwitterImplosion is to get people on an app that collects data better.

@JenWojcik

Via #TwitterImplosion he created a DDoS on the signup process. Bluesky has suspended signups even though they require an invite code.

@sidereal

Isn't the real question for new users is finding an instance that can keep up with the account creation process?

#TwitterImplosion

@Kathy_in_KY

Those issues are not important today.

The instances have to onboard the new users due to the #TwitterImplosion

That is the current issue, not features.

I have to appreciate the irony of #TwitterImplosion

Elmo timed it well for US folk, this being a long Independence Day weekend.

Apparently, Twitter users will now have to pay for the service to use the #TwoFactorAuthentication feature. So basically, pay or else. For those that still use the #birdsite, here is a #workaround courtesy of the #AssociatedPress.

“Within an hour, the website had recorded more than 10,000 user reports of problems accessing Twitter.”

Welp. We knew days like this one was coming for Elon’s bird site and reasonable to assume there will be more of it in 2023. #TwitterImplosion https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/29/twitter-users-report-global-outage-with-many-unable-to-log-into-website-or-app

Elon Musk is basically an online version of Putin. This is very much like Putin “stepping aside” so Dmitry Medvedev could post as “President” of the Russian Federation?
What kind of shameless, grifty lapdog will be the next Twitter CEO? Bari Weiss? 🤡🤡🤡 #twitterimplosion

Journalists are often late to the party (especially when it comes to social media trendlines).

Interesting discussion between @juddlegum and Joan Donovan, the Research Director at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy on #TwitterImplosion

One thing that's becoming clear - let's not worry too much about reporters getting here. Good ones like Judd will get it right away - others are just followers. #TwitterMigration

Twitter announces that they are placing new restrictions on linking to other social media sites. There's just one little problem. The EU has a law that prohibits this type of restriction, and if it takes action, Twitter could be fined billions of dollars.

Greg, I happened upon your recent article from my dead-tree Oldspaper, where you mentioned how Mike Masnick has been covering the #TwitterImplosion and I was curious:

How come at the end of the article you include your Twitter handle but not either one of your Mastodon account ids?

Is that some kind of WaPo Policy rule?

Every time I get a wave of new followers here, I know the muskrat did something awful on the bird site.

Every time. Without fail.

Anyway, a hearty welcome to new followers 👋

Hope you like it here :)

I’ve locked by twitter account and deleted the app. I encourage everyone to do the same in protest. Don’t give him a second more of your time.

#TwitterPurge #TwitterImplosion

wat musk, dat musk ☝️ 😂
#TwitterImplosion #dadaismus

Twitter is now banning all Mastodon links under the guise of "potentially harmful". Yeah potentially harmful to Elon's wallet. Free speech? HAHAHA 🤣 Elon Musk is a thin skinned fascist.

Keith Olberman?! Really?
I see that #BenCollins is keeping tabs on the suspensions.
I hope they all come here! I know a few have already
#TwitterImplosion #banned

Going to be really interesting how respectable reporters, editors from outlets such as @NewYorkTimes @washingtonpost @NBC @ABC @CNN and lot of other traditional media platforms react to Elon's systematic banning of journalists tonight.

Are they just going to sit down and take it and remain fully engaged on that platform for the sake of getting clicks and views on their articles and videos? #TwitterBans #TwitterImplosion

And more: Looks like Elon just banned Keith Olbermann too. Holy smokes. #TwitterBans #TwitterImplosion

Twitter just suspended on Aaron Rupar - who Mediaite described as one of the most influential people in media foe no reason - without any explanation.

Aaron kept an eye on all right-wing media shenanigans. This is getting ugly. #TwitterBans #TwitterImplosion
