This is hilarious. Twitter appears to be 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. 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.Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.#TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person. Oh, but it's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.#TwitterDown #Twitter #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

@sysop408 i can understand how this can happen on a codebase as decript as what twitter has. honestly shocked it doesnt happen every single day.

@sysop408 Probably a result of this:https://desu.social/@pixel/110639977326582838I’d imagine this if you’re a heavy #Twitter user, it can be easy to burn through these limits quick. But as you point out it’s a severe oversight to not limit retries in the client!

@sysop408 With all due respect why are you still on Twitter?

@sysop408 You're rationalizing my friend. Twitter controls you through algorithms and Elon Musk himself.

@Svetlana2 I don't agree with people people who say there's no point in resisting. There's no taking Twitter back that's for sure, but watch how the #NAFO accounts work autonomously together to make life miserable for disinfo accounts.There are plenty of very smart people with a mischievous streak, thick skin, and a lot of patience who are still there making some noise. From time to time, I put my Shiba face back on and go join them.

@Svetlana2 @sysop408 You made my day proving it’s a self-DDOS.

@scafaria ok, here's an even funnier version of the Twitter self-DDOS.This is a video of my video of Twitter self-DDOSing itself played from a Tweet while the bug is still active and the page itself continues to flood Twitter with requests.Now notice the trending topics in the sidebar: #TwitterDown, WTF Twitter, Rate Limit Exceeded, Damn TwitterThis might be the most perfect screen video ever recorded. 😆 #selfDDOS

@jake4480 that's what I said, but with a lot of incredulous f-bombs in for emphasis. I've been laughing about this all morning. The next time I'm having a bad day as a programmer, I'll think of the inglorious soul who DDOSed Twitter FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.#TwitterDown

@sysop408 That happens when good developers are fired. There is a tangible difference between the quality code of good developers vs bad ones. And that was an example

@pthenq1 @sysop408 Even good developers aren’t magic. A good developer in a bad system can produce bad work for all sorts of reasons. Lack of sleep, burnout, unrealistic deadlines, forced to work outside of their knowledge base for lack of support, inadequate resources dedicated to testing second order effects…
