I wonder if anyone left knows about the status page, or has access/ability to edit it. Or, more cynically, even cares.
Sometimes these parts of the processes, especially where there's external comms, are controlled so only specific teams can communicate to the public and put out an official message. If all those comms, incident management, etc teams were cut, it'll take a while to regain control of the site.
Typically you'd want your status page hosted on different infra too, so it doesn't go down when your main infra does, or even easier, out with a SaaS provider. There are a bunch who provide this.
This one is StatusPage (Atlassian) and those licenses to get edit access aren't that cheap either. Not something you'd just hand out to everyone in tech and comms regardless.

There are a bunch who provide this. There's a https://status.twitterstat.us/ https://status.twitterstat.us/ (redirected from http://status.twitter.com http://status.twitter.com) that should serve that purpose, but it displays even less information
- hnbear 4y agoLooks like both are external then. StatusPage (api.twitterstat.us) is Atlassian hosted, and looks like it's just the API status. status.io (status.twitterstat.us) is another SaaS vendor and is the the main status page for Twitter (as linked off Twitter.com) Why you'd need both/different vendors for each component is beyond me though. Both will allow you to show various product components in one place. Twitterstat.us itself top-level goes nowhere. I wonder if that's deliberate.
