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.

This is actually funny. Just this weekend I was talking to another engineer friend of mine, and we were taking bets as to how long it would be before twitter went down for the last time. We felt bad for the engineers that are still there, and were actually surprised it's stayed up this long, with all the knowledge that walked out the door. Basic stuff like "where are our servers actually located". I guess the folks t…
Where did you land on the bets? It appears that when Twitter goes down, its engineers were indispensable but when it's up, it's because the engineers foresaw this. Given those factors, how long it stays up must be an interesting combination of how indispensable the engineers made themselves vs how much foresight they had.

Speculation is that t.co link shortener service is broke : https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1632788892599586816 > The Twitter outage seems to be around a critical piece of infrastructure: the Twitter link shortener. > Every link on Twitter has been shortened to a t.co link. Only Twitter’s systems know where the link goes > If these systems ever go down, its link rot at scale
> If these systems ever go down, its link rot at scale Only if one's mental model is that t.co links were ever permanent. They're privately-owned obfuscator links. Unless someone in the wild was building a mirror mapping, they were always doomed and never to be trusted; they knocked the "U" right out of the "URL."
Their website is broken for normal users. Try visiting anyone's profile page over the web — you'll get a 467 error [0] e.g. Elon: https://twitter.com/elonmusk

“I would expect to start seeing significant public-facing problems with the technology within six months,” he says. “And I feel like that’s a generous estimate.” https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/11/08/1062886/heres-ho...
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.
It not just the layoffs it is also the major changes Elon is forcing through at high speed . Hiring for twitter is going to be quite expensive, nobody is taking this up without huge payoff and probably upfront given Elon pre disposition not to honor severance etc
