Twitter suffers major outage, leaving users unable to log on
- Existenceblinks 4y agoAs of now, new tab doesn't keep session.
- coder4life 4y agoSeems up at the moment
- choward 4y agoAre you logged in?
- maxerickson 4y agoI'm currently sort of logged in. I have tabs that are logged in but clicking links to tweets gives me tabs that aren't logged in.
- 22289d 4y ago> sort of logged in lol
- maxerickson 4y agoI don't understand the downvotes. I am logged in to Twitter and some page loads are not recognizing that, just as I describe. This is "sort of logged in".
- rvz 4y agoSeems to be still up and running.
- xenospn 4y agoFirst it failed on my desktop browser, and 5 minutes later it kicked me out of mobile. Currently unable to login.

- DoesntMatter22 4y agoHe's probably fine with the trade off. Get rid of the salary of 5k people for a minor outage (as of now).
- Nicksil 4y ago>This is what happens when you fire everyone who knows what they are doing and start unplugging random server racks. Has Twitter ever had an outage before the Elon Musk kerfuffle?
- KerrAvon 4y agoGoogle “fail whale”, but it’s essentially unheard of at this scale since they rewrote the tech stack many years ago.
- 0x_rs 4y agoI didn't know they had been doing that before! That's intriguing. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=twitter%20down https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...
- birdymcbird 4y agoyou don’t need 3K+ employees to keep the site running. i was at google and a service you probably use everyday if you have android was being supported by 3 people. not defending elon but the company was bleeding money on edge of bankruptcy. feels like entitlement to me to give fake jobs to thousands of people who don’t produce value.
- dopamean 4y agoI keep seeing people say it was in the edge of bankruptcy. If that's true why did Musk pay 44 billion dollars for it?
- optionalsquid 4y ago> Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again. That's what I get when I try to login. Unsurprisingly, trying again doesn't help
- whbrown 4y agoSeems that their api for their web app is currently returning a 503 from POST https://api.twitter.com/1.1/onboarding/sso_init.json https://api.twitter.com/1.1/onboarding/sso_init.json Response payload: {"errors":[{"message":"Over capacity","code":130}]} And then it redirects to https://twitter.com/logout/error https://twitter.com/logout/error
- attentive 4y agoMusk unplugged one too many racks in their datacenter?

- optionalsquid 4y agoFunnily enough, their API status page still reports all green: https://api.twitterstat.us/ https://api.twitterstat.us/ I suspect that the services responsible for detecting outages were among those that got nixed

- rsynnott 4y agoSo, traditionally, AWS's status page only grudgingly updates from green tick to green tick with information box after about half an hour of people complaining about AWS problems on Twitter. Which raises the question; if Twitter is down, will any status pages ever be updated again?
- BMorearty 4y agoTwitter homepage doesn't work. Viewing a user's page works. Viewing a specific tweet works. Twitter app works.
- leereeves 4y agoThe homepage works fine for me, but I'm already logged in.

- rsynnott 4y agoSeems like an... odd leap?
- incahoots 4y agoMakes sense the API is incurring issues. Nitter is also returning a 593 error.
- Obscurity4340 4y agoIs Musk aware of Nitter and does/would he even care if so?

- JakeAl 4y agoI don't think it's Twitter, I think it's the weather/rolling blackouts and the Internet. YouTube has been giving me more problems just loading thumbnails for days, and I'm on fiber.

- jasfi 4y agoI cleared my cache and it works fine now.
- collyw 4y agoWhoops. After many people praising Musk cutting tons of workforce and it still running... What percentage of Twitters engineers were cut / left, does anyone know?
- PenguinCoder 4y agoThis won't be blamed on the lack of employees, it'll be blamed on "the weather" or "poor coding practices from those we let go".
- richardjam73 4y agoI don't have a twitter account but something is very different now. Before twitter always brought up a dialog asking me to accept notfications but it doesn't anymore. It also would bring up a dialog when you scroll too far in a thread that I need to log in to see the rest of the conversation, that is also now missing. Twitter seems to have lost all user hostility for people not logged in.
- oneoff786 4y agoBtw, you can click “login” and then will get a chance to close that pop up if you want to continue reading without an account. There’s simply no way to close it from the first view.
- nikau 4y agoThey so need to change their 4xx and 5xx error page to the "y'all been musked" cowboy kid
