@endocrimes Happy birthday! 🎉

Absolutely cursed doorbell

@peek_pdx no i will not be explaining further

@peek_pdx ah yes, my answers to the questions at the gender clinic

tfw you’ve primarily been talking to someone in twitter dms for years and move to signal and suddenly you have fancy things like replying to a particular message

@theyfemme I guess it can be hard if you don’t actually respect user privacy and want to find a way to comply with GDPR while also fundamentally not wanting to

@CaseyExplosion no, a turkey is not a starch…i think

Is a turducken a burrito?

@xssfox oh my god i had completely forgotten about this game and seeing those sprites instantly transported me back to like 1999 or something

It don’t think it will happen but I would be lying if the thoughts of posting tits on main hadn’t crossed my mind in the past 48 hours or so ^^’

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

Okay all of your final tweets made me finally realize why I love Twitter so much. It's kinda serious but bear with me for a sec. It's these two ideas that Samuel Delany calls contact vs. networking. I'll try to explain it in a quick thread.

I’ve always associated this with just the noises that hard drives make but it always makes me wonder.

Okay so while this site still works, I just realised there’s audio tweets so I can ask this: These kind of hard drive sounds: Normal, or “probably replace your drive”?

The apocalypse wasn't as bad as you expected—blankets remained soft, and there were plenty of them; fire remained warm, and there was plenty of it; and more than anything, hiding from the vast monsters reminded you of childhood

So I feel like it's less "this site might disappear any moment" panic posting and more "it might not be possible to tweet for a while, let me post contact details while I still can" panic posting.

Whatever is left after that is probably going to feel like a bit of a ghost town. Some people will probably still remain here, posting, but it'll probably be a shadow of its former self?

My suspicion is that Twitter won't just go poof and disappear into a puff of smoke. My guess is more that we're gonna have various outages, probably long ones as a good chunk of institutional knowledge is gone.
