I can't remember a major service nosediving so monumentally in such a short period of time.

Just a steady degradation of service.

Their website is broken for normal users. Try visiting anyone's profile page over the web — you'll get a 467 error

In case people are wondering what this is about: All links and images are not working on twitter right now. Seems like they accidentally included their own services in the api blocklist? Sending best of luck to the engineers. The whole twitter saga has given me a good chunk of valuable "lesson learned" over the last weeks and months.. so thanks for that.

... mostly around the hope they can jump ship before the Titanic pulls them under.

I don't think I could have predicted - even given the wanton layoffs - that the service would deteriorate so quickly across the board.

I barely use the app anymore and half the time stuff isn't loading at all or is broken in obvious, overt ways.

Just ... stunning.

Wow. Glad I'm not putting energy into Twitter any longer.

Twitter devs don't have Slack right now to even discuss this. They are all in one crowded conference call, panicking, and with Elon screaming.

Maybe we could GoFundMe a couple of Slack accounts to the Twitter devs?

Even the homepage seems to be down as of 11:15am CST. Same error message. https://twitter.com/

I think only if you are not logged in. I get the error in incognito mode.
