Was Threads behind Twitter's login close off and server attack or whatever the heck happened to it? It completely killed Twitter

No, many suspect that’s caused by Musk not paying his Google cloud bill and his services being downgraded as the first step Google takes when they want a customer to pay them.

Musk put up the login only view of Twitter and immediately caused Twitter’s own DDoS because that screen would keep trying to load tweets even though it couldn’t, repeatedly and very quickly.

Musk also blamed this action on data scrapers, but people see the timing of this as too coincidental for it not to be the Google cloud thing.

Musk also backed off when he realized Twitter was disappearing from Google as it could no longer index Tweets.
