Re: Twitter is having issues in NZ
#2I usually live in the US, but I’ve been in Australia for the last couple of weeks on holidays. Twitter is unbearably slow here, and video on Twitter is basically unusable (most videos fail to load in the timeline). And this experience is the same using cellular and various WiFi sources, so it’s not an ISP problem.

#3Twitter going down permanently was weird hysteria. But Twitter just operating poorly - as it has for the past few weeks - reminds me of the failwhale era of a decade ago. For the current pace of product changes, I don't see it being a worthwhile trade off.

a lot of global companies rely on only US/EU servers to provide web services. leaves a lot of Asian countries to reach to the closest server to grab the data. in case of Twitter, that's usually US servers hence at least 300ms latency per request

#5It might just be me but I've been experiencing problems here in Australia as well. Timeline not loading properly.
I think they reduced the number of servers a week or so ago as part of the cost-saving measures. It probably doesn't affect the place where Musk lives but it does affect remote regions (which for these purposes, Australia and NZ are).

I think if the CEO hadn’t been waging culture war, the respectable opinion would be that this is fine temporarily as they get the totally new workforce and infrastructure situation sorted. In context with what really smart people were saying about how Twitter would respond to Musk’s changes, though, I think it’s a spectacular success. (Which doesn’t really change how I feel about the culture war stuff.)

The post was about New Zealand. Internet speeds here are fortunately generally heaps better than in Australia

If the now-CEO-and-primary-owner wasn’t committed to waging culture war, the purchase wouldn’t have happened. It’s not an unrelated occurrence.

I’m well aware and agree.
