     Elon and the Goons spent the past four months working to identify the best, most critical, most TECHNICAL workers at the company, and now the result is that links don't work when you click them

     Somehow my Mastodon server (mastodon.social) also went down as this was happening. We used to have proper social networks in this country I swear to god

     @caseynewton At first I thought the system was messing with me when I tried uploading a video, and it turns out that playing videos and viewing images doesn't work anymore either!

     @44 my understanding is that he’s been giving every team a week at most to make major changes. When you try to move that fast, you break stuff. This is absolutely his fault (aside from being a terrible leader who thinks he’s an expert in everything)

     @caseynewton i can't go directly to a profile if i enter it as a URL. i can only find a profile by searching for it on twitter's search engine.

     i check a few profiles for news and research since i no longer have an account there. i don't know if this affects users logged in through a web browser.

     @caseynewton people who understand how tech works might not have run a company. But most people who are running companies have proven they don’t know squat about how tech works. So here we are.
