I'm out

[clevermanka]

It was bound to happen eventually. I'm one of the users who's been locked out of desktop access on Twitter. I uninstalled it on my phone and won't be reinstalling it so ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not feeling great about losing that social connection. People shit on Twitter a lot but I valued its use and the connections I had there.

If you sent me a DM in the last 24 hours it’s a safe bet I won’t be responding to it, sorry.

If someone who does still have access would post a note that says I'm out of the game unless a miracle occurs (unlikely considering the state of the company)? I had a couple DMs going with people and I don't want them to think I ghosted them.

Well, fuck. :(

I haven't done my overnight backread, so I don't know if anyone else had had a chance to mention you being gone yet, but I've mentioned it.

Dammit.

[clevermanka]

Thank you. *sigh*

[trobadora]

Wow, they're locking people out now? Wow, that sucks. So sorry, and I hope you can find most people at least elsewhere!

[clevermanka]

I don't think it was like they went through and revoked access account by account, but a lot (maybe all?) of desktop users lost access last night.

Oh nooooooo, that's so frustrating!! Having your connection to people severed by one (1) asshole billionaire who could just have NOT fucked the site up for everyone... that really sucks. I will miss you on there so much. Definitely gives me a reason to rethink giving up on Dreamwidth... (The lack of mute function on here is Very Bad for my peace of mind.)

[clevermanka]

I'm so sad. I didn't need to be even more isolated. This would be my catalyst to start exploring Mastodon but my limited energy and focus are going to things like Functioning and Finding Income. 😩

I'm sorry it's unpleasant for you to stick around on DW. I appreciate your stopping by my post!

FFS, Twitter

[yakkorat]

Have you migrated to any of the other chat programs? Hive? Mastadon?

Re: FFS, Twitter

[clevermanka]

Unfortunately I don't have the capacity to think that hard right now. Anything new or requiring more than ten minutes of focus must relate to either making money (my savings is running out fast) or basic existence (body maintenance).

This may be a not-intelligent suggestion on my part, but have you checked again this morning? "Twitter down" was trending last night and lots of people were having problems. I have desktop access as of this morning but I don't know if we share any followers (I'm a nobody over there because I rarely interact -- I only keep twitter for my local weather forecasters). Sorry that happened to you regardless. :(

[clevermanka]

Yeah, I'm checking every few hours. Checked again just now, still no luck.

[awanderingcoyote]

Oh no I’m so sorry :( :( :( sending lots of hugs!!!

[clevermanka]

Much appreciated.

Attention, any mutual weirdos of clevermanka - she has been caught in the latest logon fuckery. You may find her on the tromboneblr and dream wideness

(i'm... not always helpful)

[clevermanka]

I'm not sure if you're replicating a message you posted on Twitter or... ?

[redheadfae]

It's so weird and inexplicable, but par for a despicable!

Well, if you're booted, there's no point in me staying because I only gathered a few followers and they seem to all be your friends :)

[clevermanka]

From a tech standpoint, it's all too explicable tbh. Under Musk, it really was just a matter of time before accounts started failing.

[salamandras]

Oh no, I'm sorry.

[clevermanka]

Thanks. *sigh*

[minoanmiss]

That's deeply annoying.

I must admit I at first thought this was about Tumblr and I almost did a Darth Vader arms spread NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the thoughts of losing your Tumblr presence!

[clevermanka]

*knock wood!*

[mundungus42]

Well, shit. Twitter is/was my favorite social media platform, and I'm pissed off King Joffrey is dismantling it, and I'm pissed you've been locked out. Feck feck feckity feck.

[clevermanka]

I'm gonna keep trying back once a day or so but I don't have a lot of optimism.

[amara1783]

Ugh I'm sorry hon! Fingers crossed they fix whatever's borked ugh frickin billionaires! *hugs* if wanted <3

[clevermanka]

Much appreciated 🫂 and yes, fingers crossed.

[brandywine28]

Ugh, and you didn't even get the satisfaction of leaving on your own terms. (Perfect gif usage is perfect, though!)

[clevermanka]

Thank you. I absolutely despise this musical, but the gif was irresistible.

[pollitt]

Ughhh. Clings to you

[clevermanka]

😭😭😭

[plingo_kat]

dang!! That sudden severance of connection sucks :(

I didn't know desktop twit was kicking people off... waiting for the axe myself now I guess. Hah.

[clevermanka]

Fingers crossed you remain unaffected! I'm going to try getting in again later today so fingers crossed for me, too.
