Where does one go to complain that X is down when X itself is gone?

timonoko•1h ago

Grok will give solace and support. It assured me that I was not banned (yet).

ErneX•2h ago

Yup.

max_zorin_phd•2h ago

Same here (SF Bay Area).

I read that they only have 30 people maintaining the whole app. It must be difficult holding everything together with so few people, and probably insufficient redundancy with oncall.

DustinEchoes•2h ago

Yes, the head of product dev recently bragged about only having 30 engineers.

small_model•2h ago

How may does GitHub have? its down far more than x.com

angoragoats•2h ago

Nice. I hope it stays down; we’d all be better off.

alecsm•2h ago

Speak for yourself.

I like it and I don't use it at all for politics.

Selecting your own mute words for your timeline is the best part about Twitter. The algorithm changes have been pretty bad in the last few weeks though.

It's literally been one month since the last outage. This is getting ridiculous. Past Degradations Provider Status Page 3mo Past 3 Months UTC+01:00 Jan 16, 2026 Duration 55m 4:10 pm - 5:05 pm resolved

victor5•1h ago

my usual first habit to check if it down is go to twitter.. now twitter is down.

rsynnott•1h ago

Yes, why not go live in this guy's moon city, what could go wrong.

Hey, the uptime for oxygen is 99.9% this month

Why are you complaining about the half hour of no air? Did you suffer some sort of brain damage? (<-- that's the joke. look up "hypoxia" if you didn't get it. Oh, and try not to get hypoxia.)

newguytony•1h ago

Time to fire some more engineers and replace them with Grok.

willquack•1h ago

Why is there an expectation for social media services to have such high uptime? It's not an ISP or cloud provider, why does it matter if it goes down occasionally?
