Russian War Crimes (Part 2)

“They say we are an army of heroes,” he told me. “But we don’t need heroes. We need soldiers who live. Heroism is complete fucking bullshit. You only create heroes when someone somewhere has made a mistake. At the heart of every heroic story is a human life. A mother without a son. A daughter without a father. A country without its citizens. Let’s have no more fucking heroes.”

FYI Twitter now force users to have an account to view.

I’ll try to either copy the Twit content or create a thread when sharing.

I stinks. I had to create a new account just to read yesterday, and now i am getting bugs with rate flow reached, so i cant even read with my new account from yesterday today. I absolutely hate that daemon, Musk with a passion.

Basically, this was the only tweet i was allowed to read today

Some how managed to read this as wsell, but today, I have no idea what is happening. I cant manually click on a source to read a time line or anything like that.

This is what I get everywhere. Awful, just awful

Fucking Yai

Elon, you absolute asshole…

I’ve had an account for years and it’s been a complete mess for the last two days. Aside from not seeing content from people I follow, the app crashes 50% of the time.

mackie · 1 July 2023 14:43

Also see the same error of being rate limited.

I thought it was my VPN, but no, it’s Melon Usk.

Off topic but Musk appears to be admitting that he has broken something:

Magnus · 1 July 2023 17:59

Well, I cant read more than 3-4 if I refresh like hell for 4 min, so the 600 is nonsense. It is very broken.

I guess he is trying to force everyone to pay for twitter blue by making it inoperable for most but his worshippers.

I see I can’t read more than 300 since I made the account yesterday. How nice. I can’t follow any war if I can’t scroll through several hundreds of tweets tbh. I haven’t been close to reading 300 today though, but depends on when “their” clock rolls.

Absolutely abominable in any case.

RedWhippet · 1 July 2023 18:13

Why would you pay to publish free content that no one can read? I think he’s completely lost the plot.

Magnus · 1 July 2023 18:18

He is like a 6 year old child, automatically doubling down on obstinacy when he gets criticised by actually knowlegable people. You can see the guy unraveling for more than a year now. retweeting the worst idiots on the internet, because actual knoweldgable people are negative to his approaches, and he can’t take criticism, even mild criticism; so he never re-tweets people with knowledge or IQ. So he just doubles down on everything he gets criticised for as a knee-jerk response. Having worked in schools, I have seen this behaviour before a lot, but usually from the very youngests pupils.

We’ll be back to paper newspapers soon!
Never had a Twitter account never will!
Happy to live in ignorant bliss rather than a mess of lies!

So I am in the process of creating a telegram channel and adding sources there. Because I can’t read anything on twitter today, and if I see the odd message, I can’t for instance read threads (it just shows one of the tweets) and will miss most of what is reported in someones time line (I always used to read twitter manually, without an account, previously, and now that I have an account again; I can’t use it and nothing works). I am rather blind at the moment.
Hopefully many of my sources create telgram accounts now despite it’s reputation as a Russian Snuff-Cinema. After all, the app seems to actually work at least.

Edit: Seems something happened right now. Maybe they have finally payed for their server now.
