X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.
You must log in or # to comment.
Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called, did not respond to requests for comment.
The Verge is fed up lol
I figure they would at least mention the poop emoji auto reply.
“Glitch”
Time to cut some storage costs!
This is exactly it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if certain accounts had images from then that might get request by law enforcement that are now “oops all gone!”
Someone noticed it knocked out most of the Arab Spring. Remember who also owns part of Twitter?
That, or he wasn’t even paying the bill and everything finally got wiped.
More like can’t cancel me for something I said in 2012 if there’s no record of it.
Not a glitch. Costs less to dump the data than maintain it, plus a lot of cringey Musk tweets were in there.
The images are still available through direct links. The t.co redirects are broken.
Lol. That’s is? I hate this sensational bs.
Tweets were 140 characters including urls to photos. It means the photo or url linked no longer works because users would shorten links instead of the full image url.
I know. But seems like a very easy fix.
Haha, “glitch” about $10 million dollars in storage fee was cleared.
Anyone still using Twitter is a top tier masochist. It was always a pretty shit platform, but it’s being made fun of by the toilet and the dumpster now for how shitty it is.
Hell, I think the sewage treatment plant is starting to blush at this point.
The images are still available. The redirects are broken.
So how do I get the direct links if all the tweets have the short link?
put someone in the server room with an axe and they could do less damage than Elon

3-2-1 Rule:
3 copies of the data.
2 Different media types.
1 of those off-site.If you’re relying on Twitter as the only place you have an image you care about, you’re making a bad choice.
I’m not sure “Twitter is not a backup service for your personal hard drive” is a point that needed to be made.

This is comical
At this point, I guess he is the most Mastodon support of all time, damn. He is really trying hard to make people quit his platform
That’s very privacy friendly of them ;)
Trying to decide if I care enough to check my account that I started in like 2009 and haven’t looked at since probably 2012. After everything that has happened I almost feel like it would be impressive if it still existed.
“Ooops…” – Someone at X HQ.
