I'm sure it's purely coincidence, but interestingly Trump's also holding his Social Media Summit right now.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the announced new "Look and Feel" for Twitter. I got a banner yesterday talking about it and now Twitter is down. Maybe they messed up something in preparation for the rollout?

Really curious which part of their infrastructure was the root cause.

I wonder how many conspiracies this single outage will trigger.

Theory: The internet is really just a series of green tubes underground and the last earthquake knocked out the primary plumber named Mario.

What’s the fallback for twitter if twitter is down, or worse: stops

The Google, Cloudflare, and Stripe outages all affected Shopify. So Shopify has had several meaningful outages over the past few weeks.

I first noticed the outage about 10 mins ago in Safari (Mac). It repeatedly gave me errors, even though Brave (Mac) was working fine. My iPhone app also worked fine (and appears to still be working).

Why would one browser work but another not work, on the same computer at the same IP? The only difference is the account I'm logged in through (personal/work).

On the status posts in particular I really miss the ability to sort comments by new on this site.
