Sigh, twitter already said they were aware of the issue and were working on fixing it.. Fuck sake you people are helpless. It was also happening to non-righty-tighty folks as well.

i feel like there should be some sort of federally regulated aptitude test provisioned by isps via mobile app every time someone tries to connect to the internet before allowing them through

Wonderful idea. A series of check boxes and a captcha should do.

Before twitter is accessible one should have to check a box that says, Are you currently triggered? If so, please come back at a later time.

nah that requires too much honesty and self reflection for social media

they would need

"which of these politicians are evil" type trap questions and just temporarily suspend anyone that picks anything other than "none of the above"

I am okay with that. If they answer wrong to any of the questions they should get locked out for 24 hours me thinks.

I remember 10 years ago I dealt with slightly more ornery routers that were down a fair bit more than they are now. Still not much, but a minor grievance.
But nowadays I deal with such heavy censorship on a daily basis that I had to set up spreadsheets of accounts for social media and their shadowbans/privileges/bans and have a rotating vpn with throwaway emails and spoofed settings on a sandboxed browser.
Never had to put up with any of that shit on old internet
