Twitter Down?

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)

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.
