Any time a social media system goes down, I feel like Depth Gauge in Waterworld[0].

It is an end (albeit temporary) to lack of social contact (because they are too busy to meet in person or talk to me face to face), but with an ironic boom, I only hear how miserable they are because the social media is down.

I'm more than slightly proud, actually. I can't remember the last time a "major" social media site had an outage that affected me. That includes Twitter, HN, Facebook, and Github (since that's turning into a social site now).

Good thing that you could announce that prideness on this other social media then. ;)

Me neither. I am not on it enough to care and increasingly I am seeing less and less value from Twitter, especially after learning that less than 10% of it is actually active and most of the noise is coming from a cluster of individuals who will build narratives that ultimately benefit them.
