Wow, the numbers on the y-axis on downdetector are spectacular. I'm used to seeing a few hundred or maybe thousand. Never seen 10's of thousands shortly after an outage before. Peak as at 15:28 UTC (UTC+0) is 45,394. EDIT: 68,442 as at 15:29 UTC (UTC+0)

seems like all gucci now...
nomilk•1h ago
yep, back working for me too.

My first thought was cloudflare issue. But seems isolated to twitter?
gintokinx•1h ago
Yea seems other cloudflare sites okey
vyrotek•1h ago
Still down for me. Cloudflare 522 Connection timed out.
wmil•1h ago
I'm getting 503 errors.

I was waiting for this. Elon Musk was criticizing Signal for being down with the AWS outage. Now X chat is down at the same time as X.

Still down for me.
StanAngeloff•1h ago
Is it X or another Cloudflare outage, though... Let's wait till this plays out - I'm personally struggling to open quite a few websites I regularly visit right now. Until recently, I wouldn't have thought Cloudflare could be the culprit, however since their most recent outage their reputation has been less than stellar.

Wow... Twitter being down today must mean the economy is losing billions of $ in lost procrastination.
