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

We'll have to do our own jokes.

Guess for some media outlets - it's going to be a slow news day.

Down on a plain Thursday with no major news or anything , so definitely doesn't look like a infrastructure spike or anything.

Could be bad deployment or someone decided to pull few plug(s)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You missed cloudflare, stripe, slack

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

Isn‘t Shopify a Fastly customer? Do they still use Cloudflare?

Mastodon I started a thread for sharing instances: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20414359

Note: Mastodon isn't the best thing to call it, it's the Fediverse and Mastodon is one piece of it.

There's also Pleroma and Misskey.
