I'm sure Elon would have destroyed it eventually even without the cyberbullying, but I'm glad we could all contribute to the speedrun time.

I've lived here for six years. Yeah, it is. A lot of people will be inconvenienced when Twitter finally kicks the bucket, and there's been surprisingly little coverage of the whole debacle in non-niche Japanese-language sources, so a lot of people are going to be blindsided by this.

EDIT: I just took a quick look at Twitter's trends in Japan and it looks like none of the top 20 are even about this whole debacle, lol

This observation might have been more prescient a couple hours ago, but

You know how people talking about radiation poisoning say that if you get a high enough dose, you'll suffer some relatively minor short-term effects, some skin burns, but otherwise feel fine — maybe even get a little extra energy and skip in your step — but in reality you're a walking corpse because you don't have any bone marrow anymore.

Twitter "will die"? Um

It seems like the down detector thing is probably just people having fun. That site generates “down” reports just from users clicking a button to report an outage.

I’m sure things WILL go down soon, but I don’t think the site is actively sinking yet.

Its fine, they're hiring a new sales rep in the market.

The funniest part of the change or lack of moderation in Twitter is the top trends in Japan went from "news" to "anime and videogames" and now some people are like "oh god was it this low brow the whole time??"

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.
