“This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed’s been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I’m being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it’s jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon’s latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

“I imagine there’s a lot that’s difficult to imagine, difficult to grasp, but as far as I’m concerned, after my 10 years or so of directing games, this really feels like a culmination of everything that I’ve enjoyed about game development and everything I’ve brought to this point. I really, really hope that as a fan of the games, you’ll enjoy it.
On behalf of the whole team at From, this is a compilation of everyone’s passion here and everyone’s dedication, so we just were really enthusiastic about this project and we can’t wait for people to play it.”
