Obsessed with the concept of a character who has never been treated kindly or gently in their life (or in a very long time) and suddenly being treated gently and with care and being stunned and then overwhelmed by it.
hey btw i would NOT recommend using Bluesky either…
this is just repeating the cycle again
[id 1: screenshot of a tweet from @/aurahack that reads “its moderation settings has a setting asking you if you want to show, hide, or warn you of a post from a known hate group. yknow, instead of outright banning them or dealing with them.”
quoting that is a tweet from @/b0tster, which reads “ok yeag blue sky having the literal dril racism dial in the settings has completely turned me off to it lmao. find me on tumblr > tumblr.com/b0tster” attached to the tweet is a screenshot of the bluesky settings, with an option labeled “Political Hate-Groups” which can be set to either “Hide”, “Warn”, or “Show”, circled in red. /end id]
[id 2: screenshot another tweet from @/aurahack, also quoting the same post as in the earlier id. it reads “mentioned it here, also the owners of the site are a crypto-first company and designed the site purposely for them to do no moderation whatsoever. an algorithm and its users decide what’s a hate group or not on their website :)” /end id]
“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.”
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a “free” account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn’t know WHY it isn’t loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it’s unbelievable. It’s like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it’s making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
[ID: A tweet from Elon Musk’s official Twitter account that says, “To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits: - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/day”. End ID.]
Already made a post about this but there’s a good chance Elon’s lying and the servers are just completely unstable because he refused to pay a contract with Google
Josie and I get to go swimming this weekend!! I know that doesn’t seem like much, but for a couple of trans women this is a big deal, and I AM SO EXCITED
667 people were arrested last night. they are curfews in place. public transport is partially closed at night.
nahel, a 17-year-old, was shot tuesday by the police during a traffic stop. he wasn’t violent or armed, he wasn’t a threat. but he broke the law and tried to drive away, so the cops killed him.
and now france is rioting.
there is a video so the government isn’t trying to deny the facts for once. but the minister of the interior (in charge of the police) still insist that the police shot less people since the 2017 law on public safety.
but an analysis of police statistics by Le Monde, the most read newspaper in france, says otherwise. when the police shot on average 250 people each year in the five years prior to 2017, that number became 297 after 2017. for shots fired specifically on moving vehicles, the average used to be 119 and it’s now 150. before 2017, there was an average of 0.06 deaths per shot. now it’s 0.32.
