I heard that anonymous is taking credit for the ddos attack today.

If so, fucking finally!

trying to flush a turd but it keeps floating back up to the surface.

also

X competitors like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon have so far remained active and accessible, giving X users alternative platforms to jump to while X works on its issues.

Why wait? Jump ship and never look back!

Amen to that. I mean right now there's also more reason than ever to convince people to leave reddit. (IE people being banned, not just for mentioning luigi, but upvoting comments mentioning luigi).

I don't understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There's basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Hope you keep talking to those people. Wear them down and get them to change. Even if it's a small company, losing corporate traffic is a hit to X that we need to see more of. I'm at the point where I am repulsed when I see X links on business websites I need to interact with.

I'm sure bigballz is on the case and will have it resolved shortly.
