How has Twitter limiting the number of tweets we can read caused it to DDoS itself?

517 views

I saw someone say that the new Twitter update was causing it to essentially DDoS itself. Is this true? I have a very basic understanding of what DDoS is but I don’t understand how the two are connected. Thanks in advance.
