twitter saw reddit killing itself and decided to speedrun an attempt lol. I randomly hit the rate limit before going to bed without even realizing it was a thing. Thought it was just some twitter error. Woke up, still can't use twitter, but I'm getting news elsewhere about it. like damn they fucked up. I just can't use twitter today.

It's hilarious and sad to see centralised social media platforms killing themselves in real-time (and unofficially endorsing decentralised social media platforms for those who care)
