hydrashok @sh.itjust.works If you noticed this outage, it’s because you’re on Xitter and part of the problem.

But seriously, get of of X if you're on it.
9 1 ReplyTreczoks @lemmy.world I just noticed it because of all the complaints of Xitter users. I don't think that counts as being part of the problem.

I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. but if they were ukrainian ips that would be an amazing troll, assuming they’d be using vpns of course.
18 0 Replyeagleeyedtiger @lemmy.nz He's been lying for years and still so many believe what he says. In any case, any group doing this would be at the very least spoofing their IP's anyway wouldn't they?

18 0 ReplyBellingdog @lemmy.world When you're hated and incompetent, blaming the people you hate for your incompetence is a convenient scapegoat.
I suspect X was down because they screwed something up internally. When you'll never be required to prove anything, you can scream you're being hacked / ddos'd til the cows come home and rubes will believe you.

Too bad that all of his most brilliant engineers are busy volunteering for DOGE, otherwise they surely would have prevented this.
