 im hearing that twitter is down... nostr doesn't go down. 
 Cuz Nostr is not a sell out 
 Well 

 
 I think 10% of the planet are trying to watch the stream. We have 10 users here. Lol. Let's be fair lol. 
 maybe... also didn't elon fired the site reliability engineers? 
 it's beyond infra, ddos attacks most of the afternoon, would expect any nostr relay hosting unpopular conversations would face the same 
 They'd have to ddos all relays and web clients. 
 Famous last words lol 
 i know, how many do we have that can handle 8m users concurrently listening

I'd want nostr to be the place for these world events 
 The most popular top 20 would be enough. 
 Doing great, Elon.

 44 billion dollars of infrastructure right there. 
 I’m sure he has no regrets. 
 Yeah 🤣 
 Nostr also doesn’t have this kinda traffic trying to get into a Twitter Spaces room 
 not with that attitude.  
 Maybe he shouldn’t have fired everyone. 
 this. 
 Or made it such a hostile work environment everyone quit. 
 I’m in “the space” bless it all. 
 Blue checks in disbelief 
 Not down, just DOS attack by a crush of users. Nostr nests can support 200k users? 
 only one way to find out. 
 #nostrfeverdreams 
 Xitter isn't down but the musk/trump space is. Youtube lives are phishing with crypto scams. 
 scammers gonna scam scammers. 
 If anyone got in maybe they can simulcast on nests?  Spaces look like they are live but you can’t connect to them 
 Can’t sign in to the spaces going on roght now.. 
 Nostr 🛜 
 Nostr can’t host 250k people in a space either 
 The client is dead long live the protocol

 Care to test that 
 Unless the whole internet went down /s.
