The servers are currently active and responding to requests, yes. There have been a lot of missteps since the acquisition though, I think party due to nobody to push back on feature requests coming from the top. No "can we look at some data" or "how about an a/b test." It's just straight from the top to production. I know most here are engineers but I honestly due appreciate product people thinking about that stuff.
At this point Twitter is likely way out of compliance with anything like GDPR. Users are finding that they are not actually able to fully delete their accounts. They remain there forever, but inactive. This by itself is a massive financial risk for the company. They are also being sued in at least one country for violating laws around speech.
Stability is maybe a little better than a few weeks ago, but we'll see. A car can go for a long time without doing any maintenance, but if you don't change the oil eventually even the best designed and engineered one is going to have a seized engine.
