Is it just me?
People compare notes and trade jokes when an app or gadget acts up, the feed showing hours-old posts, the alt text misspelling, the private key that's just 4: is it just me?, shared for its own sake.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.

- 📰 Microsoft outage disrupts global services, services fully restored Nov 12 to Nov 15
🗣️ In so many words
the words that carry it
💬 the tellers' own words: “choosing "4" as your private key is kind of like choosing your first name as a password” “Has anyone at Microsoft considered turning it off and on again?” “Have they tried turning it off and turning it on again?” “here are posts from 5 minutes ago. SIKE here are posts from 6 hours ago” “I just changed my private key to 8 - that‘s twice as secure!” “I know I’m not the only person who feels this way” “I swear Word autocorrect has got dumber.” “Idk if its just me but editing my alt text for images is a nightmare” “is anyone as tired of fighting with AutoCorrect as I am?” “is anyone else having issues with the alt text being super glitchy and just misspelling everything ?” “it will STILL re-"correct" what I typed by hand” “its bugging out on mobile”
🧶 Its claims
what people have said in this shape, summed up in our words: their claims, not ours, and not checked unless a fact-checker is named; newest first in each; a claim's dots are the shows it came up on, in their lean's color (point at them for their names)
