Disaster Twitter outage shuts down platform globally

Twitter goes down ahead of White House social media summit

The website going down happened ahead of President Donald Trump's social media summit at the White House.

It started at the same time as Trump's "social media summit".

Someone verbally bitch slap me back into sanity because the tinfoil hatter in me wants to jump out the window, strip naked, and run in circles screaming the lizard alien/mole people war is upon us.

I wish somebody hung himself from Twitter withdrawal during this time.

 

[CatParty]

reddit was also down too

We could solve the world's overpopulation in minutes if we shut down the Internet for a couple of hours.

 

[dunbrine47]

That's right, shut down your website over the best thing to happen to it in years.

 

[The Flawless Gazelles]

nothing of value is lost.

 

[Dafrunk89]

Good, now keep it that way. Keep it down forever.

Didn't the courts just rule that access to Donald Trump's twitter account is enshrined as part of the first amendment? SMASH THE STATE CIVIL WAR NOW (ignore everyone pointing guns at your backs while you blue checkmark yourself along the fence of the whitehouse)

 

[Pax Europaea]

Just destroy Twitter forever. It's a cesspool. And Discord too. Full of spergs.

 

[Dededon't]

Wish it would stay down. You used to have to actually search around to find exceptionalism. Twitter makes it too easy.

It started at the same time as Trump's "social media summit".

It's a (((coincidence)))

 

[Coelacanth]

Huh, so that's why there were so many screaming kids running around like headless chickens on the streets outside my house today.

Thanks for sharing @Pol Pots Pooter, very (un)cool.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

I've been on twitter twice, I think. My brain started smoothing right off so I noped it.

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

Can it be permanent?

In all seriousness, Twitter seems like the biggest dead weight of all the social media platforms. Who even uses it any more? Unless you're an influencer on another platform, engagement is practically non-existent. The days of posting "Fuck Ponald Blumpft!" and getting 500 likes are over. It's basically just a place for Trump to shitpost in real time, trannies to screech into an ever decreasing void, and third-worlders to post videos of themselves dying and that's it. Cut it loose.

 

[Arkangel]

The silver lining in all this is there are a bunch of spergs and blue checkmarks out there not getting their dopamine fix from using the site. I imagine there is at least one person out there who will claim twitter is a human right.

 

[Dick Pooman]

I haven't known the precise details of the goings-on in the world for almost an hour.

 

[Judge Holden]

It's a (((coincidence)))

nigger if the jews are behind this they fucking deserve to rule the planet

 

[Gordon Cole]

I have a video of the Twitterati reacting to the outside world:

Yeah, I mean the worst-case scenario on this is it's some ill-conceived Trump protest stunt, but still...

I haven't known the precise details of the goings-on in the world for almost an hour.

...tell me about it. I found out about that 7.1 earthquake practically as it was happening because I was on Twitter at the time. Back in 2011 I was watching Jp Twitter for news about the tsunami and Fukushima, and it was a great source of lulz during the Arab Spring. Always believed social media outages would be what precedes global shit-fan scenarios, and now I'm just on edge. Thanks clown world.

 

[JoshPlz]

God, I already thought they have shoah'd Josh for not loving Israel enough. His Twitter is the only one I watch.

These down times are 100% because they're installing backdoors and spyware into shit. It's happened with FB/Insta/Cloudflare/Twitter/Reddit.
