- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that “only lasted for about half an hour” is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.
I still can’t believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?
Looking it up, pretty close.
The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code
/bin/rm -r -f *on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2#Troubled_production
Or Bobby Droptables
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
“Twitter”, with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that’s solid gold branding… It’s insane to randomly “go a different direction” and then land at “X”. If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I’d resign then and there.
Changing their name to “X” was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.
losing just 20% is probably a best case scenario for musk IMO.
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year… He is fucking dumb idiot.
DDoS attacks are illegal, but what is the legal amount of times a person can call a website? I’m sure enough people doing just a few calls per second couldn’t get a person into too much trouble. Has the law even defined the difference?
The legal difference would be intent; are you trying to access the website, or are you trying to bog it down? Proving intent can of course be difficult, but OTOH I don’t know how much longer American courts are going to care about silly things like proof
So, exactly what must a person avoid doing to keep from exacerbating X’s DDos problem today?
He’s claimed DDoS before right after the purge. I’m pretty sure it was just the platform being crushed by normal traffic. I’m skeptical this isn’t just operating as funded.
No, don’t ever organize like this. We are on the left. We are smart and we are righteous. We do not plan and coordinate and work together in this behavior. This would be sneaky and take social skills and foresight. No we need to gather in downtown Chicago with signs and megaphones. Protest in the streets. Only protest. We’re not animals like trumpets who do this stuff and get away with it and never let up. They don’t know the power of chaining themselves to a fence. They don’t get the rush and mighty feeling when the crowd boos you and tells you to go home and throws things at you. No they don’t understand. They don’t understand we do it for them.
Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.
Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
If we’re lucky it’s forever.
Says it was only 30 minutes in the description. Kinds weird they’re telling us about it and not including thst bit in the title.
They’re busy, collapse the data center support columns.
insert ‘oh no, anyway’ meme here
Let’s gooooo. Take that garbage site out
What can I do to help the cause, even though I don’t have a Twitter account and only used it for porn drawings in the past?
Looks like yippidy dipshit is on a great losing streak, space x, the recession, now this.
Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.
Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.
I’m quite surprised it took this long for the outage to appear after all those cuts by the fucker.
Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time
Let it burn! It’s not our problem.
In unrelated news, hate is reduced across the world.
Good. Sadly it was fixed.
But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
