Over on Twitter, tweets are disappearing.

Yes, any social media site can experience bugs. But the bugs on Twitter are increasing, and it’s questionable whether they have the engineering capacity to resolve these bugs in a timely manner.

If only there were a way for Twitter to build content redundancy, perhaps through redistribution on a “universe” of federated servers.

A “Fediverse”, if you will.

But nah, that’s science fiction. It could never work 😔

@atomicpoet
The unfollows without unfollowing are also happening. There are very strange things happening on a pretty significant scale.

@atomicpoet Twitter really needs to die. It's lost its value

@atomicpoet Sometimes I think it is ok that the tweets are disappearing. Far too many that don't deserve to exist in the first place.

That said, maybe this will wake people up to the fact they need a more permanent place for their content - like a website!

@atomicpoet I have a feeling the issue is not just engineering capacity. I suspect it's also one of will.

@atomicpoet Or might it be "negative moderation" (aka censorship) instead of a bug? 🤔😇

@atomicpoet Sounds like it's the old 'rapid scroll' behavior (which wasn't a bug), not that they're disappearing. So, a regression to an old behavior that everyone who noticed it hated.

Lotta regressions over there. That's what you get when you fire build managers.

@atomicpoet Wow I though this was just my phone, I have been having this problem for like a year now
