Twitter Is Imploding
By The owner is imposing limits on free Twitter speech.
I am posting screen grabs rather than tweets because it appears that multiple things are going wrong. People started getting “rate limit” notices earlier today: “You are over your rate limit. Try later.” This seemed odd to some of them, who were posting their first tweet after they logged on.
A number of theories are being floated. It’s the first day of the quarter, and Elon has famously not been paying bills. It’s possible Twitter’s Google Cloud accounts are being closed down. Here’s another theory:
Bluesky is getting overloaded and is slowing down. I’m going to guess that this is not the end of Twitter. But it could be!
Update: More explanation of that “self-DDOSing”
