I was up until 3:30 am EST getting this article written and published: TweetDeck Goes Kaflooey - FOSS Force https://fossforce.com/2023/07/tweetdeck-goes-kaflooey/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tweetdeck-goes-kaflooey
"Musk’s cited reasons for both Friday’s and Saturday’s issues might be lies just a way of covering up yet another failure in Musk’s management of Twitter. The truth might be that once again Musk has cut too many corners and spread the site’s infrastructure too thin."
Or that he thinks a good week of downtime will save his older content from the scrapers.
Having written a few Twitter scrapers, I have to say I see his point even if this is not a long-term solution.
@amerika If he's having trouble with scrappers it's only because he's cut the platform's infrastructure beyond to the bare bones.
Twitter obviously hired too many idiots and he cut them. It does not take that many engineers to run a company UNLESS lots of them are involved in the censorship racket like at Reddit and Facebook.
See the pattern?
@amerika You call content moderation a "censorship racket"?
No, these are two separate things.
Content moderation is forced upon us by spam and some people I consider outright abusive, of all political stripes.
However, it's clear Twitter went far beyond that.
The censorship racket was that Twitter promised its advertisers clean content and had to hire tons of idiots to enforce that, most of whom ended up harming the company.
@amerika I never saw that with Twitter, and the only people I've heard that from are people from the far right who want to publish "information" that isn't true, as well as hate speech.
I see that your profile advocates relocating "all other ethnic groups" (which I assume means anybody who isn't white) and exiling "the defectives," which I assume means people like me who disagree with your tolerance of hate and exclusion.
I think that should be enough to have your account permanently canceled.
@BrideOfLinux @amerika Anyone with a mask in their pfp, especially right now, should automatically have their opinions discarded.
