Is Twitter Fail Whaling?

from the self-post dept.

Ever since Elmo took over and implemented "hard core engineering", whenever a high traffic time period came up - election, news worthy, the interface fails with a "retry" or infinite spinner.

Seems like it is failing more the closer we get to Tuesday.

This is surprising why? Surge load is hard to budget for and under the surface many infra things are bundles of spit and duck tape.

It's insane. Doj and democrat state governments suing to stop removing noncitizens from the ballots. Flooding swing areas with migrants who are then voting illegally.

I'm Australian and I have no idea how anyone has the gaul to say the US has a fair election process right now. It's like it's been taken over by an organized crime gang.

Which one's a military operation? X or the DDoS? Both?
