X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage.
-
Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.
Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.

In unrelated news, hate is reduced across the world.
Remember when Russia had all those cyber attacks and suddenly, a huge chunk of Reddit stopped spewing hate?

Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.

The most illegal part of a DDoS is usually the hacking / exploiting of thousands or millions of devices to make them all request twitter.com
I'm not entirely sure what rules it would fall under if you somehow performed a DDoS using entirely your own hardware and Internet connections. It might even be legal, just against the ToS of basically every ISP. I'm pretty sure if Google or ChatGPT take down a site by sending too many crawlers there's no legal consequences.
There is also the Hug of Death, I don't think that's illegal

- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.
Wonderful! May it stay that way forever.

The legal difference would be intent; are you trying to access the website, or are you trying to bog it down? Proving intent can of course be difficult, but OTOH I don't know how much longer American courts are going to care about silly things like proof
So, exactly what must a person avoid doing to keep from exacerbating X's DDos problem today?

This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.

Don't you unplug it and plug it back in again?

Im going to have a meal of a block of cheddar cheese with melted cheese on top, with grated permesan sprinkled on top, basted with a 5lb tub of butter.

You might consider adding a couple eggs to that. Since you can afford "permesan" and butter, I feel like it's possible you might even be able to afford the eggs without having to take out a small personal loan.

That's not really an authentic American meal unless you deep fry it in HFCS.
Is that pepper? Nope… gunpowder.

A small loan of 1 million dollars.

The bomb’s payload is exposed. I can use the power winch, to trigger a controlled explosion.

This sounds as delicious as 64 slices of American cheese.

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.

Let's gooooo. Take that garbage site out
