I've continued to use twitter daily since the Elon takeover. If I wasn't in the loop about that I wouldn't have noticed anything. I think early on I heard there was a 2FA outage? That was resolved fairly quickly. The only issue is dumb changes, like the "no linking to other platforms" rule that was announced and then rolled back within the day, or adding view counts that add no value. But none of that is technical issues.

Getting rid of their API so third party Twitter clients break was pretty big.

  Copy-pasting my last comment on this: > I'm pretty sure breaking 3rd party clients was intentional. > Twitter had tightened the reigns on them years ago because it just cost them money to keep them alive. It makes sense that would be first on the chopping block when they're looking for cost-saving measures, and I figured it was inevitable regardless of the Elon takeover. I don't think that was technical ineptitude, but rather a cost-saving decision from the business.
