Comment on Twitter Is Down

Comments

Mental health across the world is already improving.

When it came back I had 2-4 more followers that I lost in days prior.

I'm no rocket scientist, but that indicates to me that they might have restored something from a backup volume.

Followers on Twitter and interactions have been stagnant for ages in my experience there, actually having followers probably makes no sense on most of these social accounts any more, as they are throttling how users see content so much to drive ad sales.

If you really look at what goes viral on Twitter daily, and what trends constantly, it becomes very apparent that the entire experience is carefully managed by moderation and marketing that constantly leans towards sensational and controversial news... It's torturous to use Twitter now compared to years past, and they just don't care to change the user experience. I envision that most of the real people on the platform now only use it in small doses.

Could just be stale/incorrect cache data getting wiped. That's more common in my experience.

Addicts take time to heal after quitting for months. So minutes or hours do not that matter!

Hopefully is for once and forever!

Exactly. When a global digital crack / cocaine drugs store closes down on a week day, at first there will be a large frustration from the 'users' queuing for their daily dose and then afterwards the effects of the drug will subside and they will move on, if it fails to reopen soon.

Maybe not for Twitter once it shortly reopens its stores worldwide and the outrage machine, bots, manipulation and the melting down of the emotions of many users continues.

Not good for the brain at all.
