I'm sure that I would have been banned by the previous regime, but I've never posted anything on Twitter.

Didn’t Musk say that despite shutting down some main servers, twitter was still functioning? So where, and on whose servers, is twitter really being run? Some NSA facility in Utah? Sounds like the deep state can monkey around still, and until Musk gets control over his new purchase, he’s going to be at their mercy.

I did not realize that a Twitter outage was important enough to make into a Free Republic thread.

Anyway, it appears that Twitter made some significant backend server architecture changes overnight.

Not only is Twitter back up but it will be running even faster.
