Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called, did not respond to requests for comment.

The Verge is fed up lol

"Glitch"

Is anyone still on twitter? Why?

Not a glitch. Costs less to dump the data than maintain it, plus a lot of cringey Musk tweets were in there.

Haha, "glitch" about $10 million dollars in storage fee was cleared.

Anyone still using Twitter is a top tier masochist. It was always a pretty shit platform, but it's being made fun of by the toilet and the dumpster now for how shitty it is.

put someone in the server room with an axe and they could do less damage than Elon

3-2-1 Rule:
3 copies of the data.
2 Different media types.
1 of those off-site.

If you're relying on Twitter as the only place you have an image you care about, you're making a bad choice.

"Glitch"

I am kinda without words, need to check if one of my favorite post are still up. The poet was made by a trans women before she knew she was trans. She was sitting in a boat and said I feel like a girl in a 90s movie. She quote posted it recently and said we made it girlie.

Sure, a "glitch". More like further last ditch efforts to keep Twitter alive by cutting any costs necessary.

Good, were one step closer to shutting it down.

Erasing media of the Arab Spring at the behest of his Saudi handlers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It’s unclear when the problem started, but it was highlighted on Saturday afternoon in a post by Tom Coates, and a Brazilian vtuber, @DaniloTakagi, had pointed it out a couple of days earlier.

As it is, it appears to affect tweets published prior to December 2014, judging by posts visible on my own account.

On Saturday afternoon, as Coates pointed out, the glitch claimed the picture from one of the most famous tweets ever (back when they were still called tweets), this selfie posted by 2014 Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres flanked by celebs like Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and others, taken during the show’s broadcast.

I haven’t seen any public comments from owner Elon Musk or X CEO Linda Yaccarino about the problem, but at some point on Saturday night / early Sunday morning, the picture in that post was restored.

Despite speculation that it could be an intentional cost-cutting move by Musk, the fact that the actual media posted hasn’t been deleted suggests an error or bug of some kind, one of many that have arisen since last year’s takeover and mass layoffs.

There’s also at least one other old tweeted image that still worked — the one posted to President Barack Obama’s account after winning his 2012 campaign for reelection, showing a hug between him and the First Lady.

The original article contains 394 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

At this point, I guess he is the most Mastodon support of all time, damn. He is really trying hard to make people quit his platform

Trying to decide if I care enough to check my account that I started in like 2009 and haven't looked at since probably 2012. After everything that has happened I almost feel like it would be impressive if it still existed.

That's very privacy friendly of them ;)

This is comical
