- 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.

If we’re lucky it’s forever.
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Nazis, I imagine.
Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.
I was just talking to a friend who’s very anti-nazi (at least, that’s what he says), told him that by staying there, he’s feeding the nazis. He says that he’s the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.
And bots
My government emergency alerts :(
Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.
Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon
Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.
Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.
It’s behind a paywall and I’m not paying that Nazi.
I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.
Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).
Nazis, people who aren’t bothered enough that a Nazi owns it to leave it for Bluesky, and bots, lots of bots.
Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.
I see what you did there…
We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.
God I hope there’s some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.
Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot
What can we do to keep it like this forever?
I love that for them
Is tempting to check if it’s still down. But wom’t touch this ugly domain.
Make it permanent next time.
Oh no.
Anyway…
Oh, so that was it?
I just thought my Twitter Piko app was outdated 😅
Yes brother, it’s outdated…
The new app name is Mastodon. 😆
I literally wrote a long memes (including a Linardo DiCaprio gif from the wolf of wall street movie) filled comment to tell you to delete your Twitter account and use Mastodon, but I deleted it, because I thought you might misunderstand me and think that it’s offensive.
Just wanted to say that.
“Something went wrong. Try 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.
Arkham Asylum grid failure
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.
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.
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year… He is fucking dumb idiot.
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.You are really surprised by a guy who wanted to name his car series S-E-X-Y and had a temper tantrum when model E was taken and he could not “buy” it.
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?
I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.
The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.
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
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
