Friends. Last night Twitter has experienced a global outage, which according to Forbes, prevented users from accessing their local timelines. The Twitter corporation has neglected to report any status changes for their services, however many 3rd party services such as downdetector and NetBlocks have confirmed the outage.

On behalf of Nivenly and the Hachyderm community, our thoughts and prayers go out to Twitter during this crisis.

The Mastodon API is really fun to play with. You should check out the documentation if you haven't already.

You can start sending curl requests now. You don't even need OAuth material or anything. You can just curl the API directly as most of the endpoints are public.

Here is a fun way to have pulled up just to see whats happening on our server. You can grab a list of all of the server toots as they come through in real time 🎉
