- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that “only lasted for about half an hour” is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.
Looks like Elon was chewing on the wires again
Someone did the world a favor.
Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.
Couldn’t happen to Mastodon.
The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
insert ‘oh no, anyway’ meme here
As you wish.
I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.
I couldn’t figure out how to post a gif so I appreciate it!

Lemmy uses pretty standard markdown, so this works in lots of forums besides lemmy.
I see. I also just discovered in Mlem that the little toolbar when composing a post can be scrolled left to right. Thanks for the info!
I’ll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.
I assume we’re in a similar boat so let me assure you: no, you won’t - because we wouldn’t even realize it happened.
Only after s few months one of us will recall this thread and be like “oh, yeah. Twitter. Seems really dead finally. Good.”
And to be clear I expect they person to be you because my memory is awful.
Oh, that’s why xcancel was returning 502
nitter.net is back, by the way.
Yaaay!
Nothing of value was lost.
I still can’t believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
“Twitter”, with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that’s solid gold branding… It’s insane to randomly “go a different direction” and then land at “X”. If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I’d resign then and there.
Changing their name to “X” was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.
losing just 20% is probably a best case scenario for musk IMO.
Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don’t have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.
I like referring to it as xitter, pronounced “shitter”. What were once tweets are now steaming piles of xit. Or someone taking/dropping a xit.
X-crements
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?
Looking it up, pretty close.
The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code
/bin/rm -r -f *on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2#Troubled_production
It’s going to be so easy for him to turn that x into a swastika in a couple of years though. Its what’s known in tech circles as IED “iterative evil design”
Systemd now wants to do homedirs. Is that the same thing?
Let’s gooooo. Take that garbage site out
Was it related to graphql these clowns using?
Looks like yippidy dipshit is on a great losing streak, space x, the recession, now this.
Its been down at my house for a while now.
It was never up in this house.
I don’t have an account. Never did. But I have a custom blocklist running on my router and elons crap is there. Along with a lot of trash sites like facebook.
Elon’s blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?
DDOS on what exactly?
Which service? Graphql?
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.
Don’t you unplug it and plug it back in again?
I unplug my router so the IP changes and hacker can no longer find me. Check & Mate.
