Twitter is like actually collapsing at the moment
i don't mean as in the general doomed state it has been for the last couple months, but rather that it is losing functionality as i write this.
a bit of context:
in the morning of december 15th, the Twitter account ElonJet —which posted the publicly available flight records of Elon's private jet— was banned under the excuse of "doxxing".
he then proceded to run a very rudimentary text block in the site for the link to the ElonJet instagram account, but it was only applied to the exact link "https://instagram.com/elonmusksjet", to which many people found a plethora of easy workarounds.
then, he proceeded to ban journalists. specifically those who had criticized him before.
THEN, accounts who were reporting on the sudden bans started getting banned themselves, followed by bans of Mastodon and links to Mastodon in general, possibly due to links to the ElonJet Mastodon account.
and as this was unfolding, people were discovering they could still join Twitter Spaces from banned accounts, so all the banned journalists created a mega Space, which i am only vaguely informed of what was being discussed (like blatant censorship) but i'm sure recordings surface in the coming days.
one recording we DO have access to right now is of elon joining the 4,000 (i need to review this number) people including several banned accounts, in which he was asked around 3 questions, didn't answer any, and left after once again making a fool of himself.
a few moments later, the Twitter Space closes out of nowhere, and the recording "mysteriously" disappears. seems like elon finally found a way to shut it down after several hours.
however, spaces are now broken for a large amount of users.
then, a few people start to mention they can't like or retweet posts specifically from the timeline.
i see one of two options: 1) musk purposefully broke all these functions, or 2) he broke Spaces on purpose, which caused a cascade of problems.
oh, btw! did you know since elon took over, Twitter developers started working directly on the live website? that might complicate doing something like idk, reverting to a previous build after some site-breaking update?
anyways, sorry for the rant. i'm not sure it makes much sense i'm very sleepy, but i just thought i needed to document this somewhere. i might come back and edit to add supporting screenshots and videos

This man's idiocy knows no bounds
Just fyi, The Apple App Store and Google Play require a block function in social media apps. So he literally can't do this. He just got butthurt that so many people have blocked him.
Update: Still an idiot

On the one hand, Elon Musk has utterly mangled one of the most important social media sites, arguably irreparably, and has set such a terrible precedent that other wannabee tech moguls like Steve Huffman and All Those Hollywood Execs[TM] are emboldened to make the most stupid possible decisions without hesitation, further worsening the media landscape
On the other hand, now I can look at Musk stans and shit on them without hesitation, because it takes more than just having annoying personality to look at everything he's done in the past few years and still like him. It takes a special kind of cultist who's willing to pay $8 for internet clout, for one

So here’s the latest Twitter Thing™ going on:
But there’s something Xringelord Musk seems to have overlooked in his pathetic attempt to stop people shutting his dumbass up: And it’s this Apple App Store guideline:
It’s only a matter of time before Apple chops that app. Between the nazis, the verified csam accounts, and now this. This just keeps getting more and more entertaining.

Man. I miss when I could go on Twitter and just look at art posted by the people I like. Now it’s just endless extremism and bad takes.
I’m seriously considering just leaving it entirely. (Probably won’t delete my account. Just won’t do anything besides post my art)
