To try to prevent others from joining this argument: twitter is currently not allowing you to read tweets without being logged in. Hence, it can be both available and not available.

If it cannot be read without logging in, then it is inaccessible. That's a choice twitter gets to make, but to claim tweets are accessible because some people can read them is no different from posting links to a private facebook group and saying "you just need to be a member of that group".

That said, I was saying it is inaccessible because I am getting error messages trying to load it.

>Hence, it can be both available and not available.

So Musk has given us the real life Schrödinger's cat?

If I never auth again, Twitter doesn't exist?

Last I checked a tweet isn't a real life cat any more than an electron is.

almost certainly an innocent mistake, not "lying"

That's far from true and simply indicates the direction (and intensity) of your own political passions. This is one of the most reliable phenomena on HN: everyone thinks their team is the one being repressed. People with opposite passions think the site is overrun by your team and that the mods are in your pocket.

That's Twitter for you, these days.

"Something went wrong, try reloading"

And even then, I've never had a Twitter account, so not sure I'd be able to see it now anyways.

Sure seems inaccessible to me.

GP is referring to the tweet itself, which is behind an login screen if you don't have a Twitter account.

Your definition of accessible reminds me of Cave Johnson.

"Bean counters said I couldn't fire a man for being in a wheelchair. Did it anyway. Ramps are expensive."

But he is not lying, it is inaccessible for some people, myself included, I get the same error:

For what it's worth, I can't access it either, so there are probably many of us.

Yeah, but based on his musk comment I'm going to assume anything we say isn't relevant.

He's accusing people of lying because they hate musk, when they're saying content is not accessible on a site that is currently documented to be suffering basic response problems. It's the kind of reactive BS you get from idiots who aren't interested in facts or reality so shrug.

>It's the kind of reactive BS you get from idiots who aren't interested in facts or reality so shrug.

Lying because you hate Musk is the reactive BS from an idiot who isn't interested in facts or reality.

"Something went wrong. Try reloading."

> Y'all's hatred of Musk is driving you to lie.

My god, my hatred for Musk has caused twitter to go down. Wow, I didn't know I had such power. JFC.
