Enjoying the fact that the only noticeable impact I have from Twitter being down is that I see people posting about it here.

Lol: "Twitter's front-end department didn't pay Twitter's back-end department for API access....."
From a friend who didn't want to post it themselves, but said I could. Too funny not to share...

Now that bird's most basic functions are starting to break down - as in, can't use it at all - maybe all the people dual-posting there and here would like to consider actually giving the elephant a real chance?

Welcome back to a bunch of people who started accounts on Mastodon in November then slunk back to Twitter hoping things wouldn't get worse.
Take my advice and just stay here next time! Uninstall the Twitter mobile app and install either Tusky (android) or Ivory (iOS) and start following people here. You won't need to go back!
I won't lie and say the transition is *painless*... it takes like... 72 hours and some clicking to get set up and used to it?

Watching all the folks who signed up for Mastodon accounts, and then ran back to Twitter suddenly showing up here again to talk about how Twitter is down. 😂

Twitter is telling people who have posted just once that they are “over the daily limit for sending tweets,” and won’t allow them to post. I am currently blocked from posting on Twitter. DMs are also down.

Lol. I tried posting a tweet to tell people about my latest Techdirt story (about Mastodon) and I got this error message (and it's the only tweet I've tried today).

And they're doing so well on the debt ceiling. What could possibly go wrong? 🤮

Some people leave their faith and some lose their faith. For most of us, there is no going back. As Oliver Wendell Holmes stated, “The mind, once stretched, cannot return to its former dimensions.” #exchristian #apostate #nonbeliever #secular #nullifidian #atheist #religioustrauma #criticalthinking

@tallship I am wondering if there is an instance that meets all the following criteria, qoto.org has most of these features but not the first three.
1) Runs a fairly recent version of the Mastodon software that allows editing toots after you have sent them.
2) The ability to specify hashtags or keywords that will automatically hide a toot. There are certain subjects I just don't care about and would like to eliminate them from the toot stream.
3) The ability to automatically hide toots that are not in a message you speak, OR automatically translate those toots for you. Right now I am manually muting anyone who toots in something other than English but that means that if they sometimes toot in English I won't see it.
4) Does not limit toots to 500 characters. To me the larger the better. qoto.org allows 65535 character toots which is ridiculously large but it does mean that no one ever has to break up their thoughts into multiple toots (I hate trying to follow a thought that takes a dozen short toots to fully explain). I would say 2000 characters is about the absolute minimum but really I'd like to see 5000 or more as the limit.
5) Allows you to view all the hashtags you subscribe to in a list, and delete them from that list. quoto.org has that but the other thing I would like, which they don't have, is the ability to see a daily or weekly post count for each hashtag in the list. Basically I am trying to find a way to reduce the amount of toots coming out of this firehose.
6) Has a quote-toot ability (which qoto.org has) or the ability to do a reply with a quote from the toot you are replying to. Another thing I hate is seeing a toot that is obviously a reply to another toot but you have no idea what they are replying to.
7 ) Displays all inages without cutting off the top or bottom of the image. qoto.org does this but I also wish there was a way to reduce the size of images to like 25% of the column width so it would be easier to scroll through the toot stream.
