Ask HN: Is Twitter Down?

37 points by geerlingguy 6y ago

I can't get it to load, just getting a backend error. I generally check if sites are down on Twitter and, well, now I guess I'll ask here!

Just went down for me. Site shows this message when I visit in browser: upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure Good luck to the devops on this one Edit: back up, nice work team

The entire planet has now violated Twitter's terms of service. I guess it was inevitable

  Yep. The only way to achieve perfect “Trust and Safety” is to get rid of everyone.

  Sorry, I might be missing a step - what is the logic that leads to this statement that we've violated Twitter's terms of service?

    like Trump can’t access Twitter for violating their terms of service, now no one can. It was meant as a joke, I believe.

  This is just a joke but quite comically my Twitter account was recently restricted (basically banned, cannot even modify own settings). The account was setup to follow companies for special offers. There were only a handful of tweets in the lifetime, all related to very simple product questions. I cannot reach a human, but I guess I paid nothing so I get nothing. Given that the account was just used as RSS+ I could easily create another, but I just didn't want to be bothered to create new accounts.
