My 14yr old daughter sent me this screenshot the other day with the comment "I think that one sentence sums up twitter pretty well".

Fyi, on mobile the image doesn't load and the download link is broken.

I see a giant circle around like 10 sentences, none of which feel like the sum up twitter in any way? After some consideration I guess maybe you're referring to "What's happening?"

> "What's happening?"

That's a very good question.

Loads fine for me on Firefox Android (but I don't get which sentence is supposed to sum up Twitter).

Editor's Choice?

Fair enough - the sentence in question was indeed 'What's Happening?'

Your 14 y/o daughter is fired.

I tried to point this out below. It's not even a DDoS, it's fake news.

it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS.
