    What I found more amusing is that even if you pay for verification you still have a tweet limit. Imagine paying for a limited service of what was free 6 months ago.

    What is the source for this? This appears to be something someone typed in their notes app.

      “Twitter is refusing to pay its Google Cloud bills” via Reuters

      “Twitter isn’t letting users view the site without logging in” via CNN

      “Twitter has put a temporary limit on the number of tweets that users can see each day” via Reuters

      “Twitter is now effectively DDOSing itself based on how these changes were made” via Forbes

      “Another potential explanation… is that Twitter is essentially DDOSing itself” via TechRadar

      Original Mastodon post proposing and showing evidence for the DDOS theory

      Took me a ~5 minute web search

      Paying a bill from a few months ago is not the same as renewing an annual contract. These may both be true

    I thought I read something last week about Twitter and Google kissing and making up. Am I misremembering the story? What’s going on?

    What a crazy last month this has been. Apparently, to qualify to run a social media company, your intelligence should register in the “if someone removed five IQ points from you, you’d be too stupid to breathe” range.

    I’ve seen this posted in several places as gospel, but where is any proof that supports this?

      It’s certainly conjecture but it’s not wild speculation. This comment a few above links to various articles about the individual pieces. The bullet points are attempting to connect the dots and while it’s not “proven”, it certainly makes a lot more sense of Musks’ actions than I’ve been able to.

    I give anyone on Twitter with a Blue Checkmark the stink eye. Majority of them are fascists anyways.
