    Image Transcription: Twitter Post


    @nelson@tech.lgbt, @nelson

    Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter’s JavaScript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

    Twitter is DDOSing itself.

          Seriously. They talked about smart contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, and made it sound like NFT’s would replace your mortgage.

          Instead we got jpegs of monkeys and Logan Paul hustling digital eggs, and everyone trading on speculation with no one actually building anything other than scams.

            I mean, the legitimate stuff is all still there and it’s all still growing. But it was eclipsed by a bunch of assholes trading tulip bulb scams. Now that the scams are no longer profitable and have mostly pulled up their stakes, everyone’s like, “Well I guess crypto was a bust, then!”

            No one blames tulips for the bulb bubble. The bulbs all still worked just fine after the tulip market crashed. But you didn’t see it filling every page of every newspaper anymore, and that’s a good thing.

            Of course there is also the fact that you basically cannot use crypto for any legitimate purpose anymore due to draconian AML laws that have been passed in the last ten years specifically to fuck with crypto.

      Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.

      Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.

    Lol I just remembered Elon’s tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who’s doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂
