Elon Musk’s Twitter Spaces event yesterday with Ron DeSantis was a disaster. Why? The Spaces team is down to 3 people, AWS servers were “insanely under-provisioned,” and Twitter didn’t do a stress test ahead of time:

i am being gang-stalked online now for a few years & i really want it to end soon. i’ve been careful not to mention the alleged persons stalking me. The posts shown to me are really perverted & gross. The world at times is such a beautiful place & yet the persons writing things have chosen to pollute it. That’s their legacy…

i wish the world was a kinder happier place. i don’t understand cruelty. What is the point & what is it there for? It seems that so many people are bitter & petty & they don’t know what is really going on. Is it bad to want to hug them or help them? The sad thing is that many are cruel no matter what.
