Anyone notice any websites not working at all today for any lengths of time? Several of the larger and most active have had some issues working today either fully or even just partially.
Twitter appears to have gone down given a #Twitterdown hashtag that is trending.
4chan was frozen for over 6 hours with no ability to receive new posts from anyone. While some boards and threads can last days the litmus test for whether 4chan is active is the cesspit known as /b/, the random board. /b/ is that nonstop you will never see the most recent active thread with a last post more than a minute old. So for it to hit 1 hour means something ia quite wrong. For it to hit 6 hours means something is very wrong .
Anyone notice any others failing to perform ?
Losing 4Chan would probably cause a scattering or autists across the web similar to how tumblr closing caused all the loons to spread elsewhere, or for a literary example humanity being cast across the galaxy at the end of the last Dune book.
Losing Twitter would be a blessing.
Most of the people who were serious about 4chan left to 8chan and when that fell apart already scattered to places like smaller chans or fedi. (poast, freespeechextremist, baest, etc)
The rules and mods they have are basically worse than twitter at this point depending on the board.
