Well, it’s been more than 24 hours without a peep from Twitter. Seems like a legitimate bug/failure would have at least been acknowledged by now.

Twitter was down in NZ and Australia for something like 16h recently with no official communication and no status update. It's the new normal.

Twitter has for years had an antagonistic relationship with third party apps, heavily restricting API access.

Then Elon comes along and bans mere links to third party social networking profiles (only rescinded because of the outcry).

While we can't prove that this is a duck yet, it's certainly a waddling object that is quacking like crazy.

Twitter has antagonistic relationships across the board now, both internally and externally.

There's literally no comms people left to communicate it, and it seems like Musk's fellow shareholders have finally sufficently threatened him to get him to shut up.

I was a teenager once and sometimes you just don’t come up with something (you think is) clever to say.
