> The next time Twitter goes down, and it will any day now
People have been saying this since the day Elon took over... but has it really gone down that much? More than other tech products? E.g. how many outages have the big cloud providers had in the last year? When I hear people say 'any day now' it reads like they are looking for any excuse to say 'mars man bad'.
- AlexandrB 3y agoI don't know about outages, but Twitter's website has become completely erratic for me. Sometime it will load replies, sometimes it won't. Sometimes it will login-wall content, sometimes it won't. Sometimes I just get an error page. Clicking on a Twitter link today is like rolling the dice on whether you'll actually see anything or not.

- atorodius 3y agoI think the parent was referring to this rather massive and long outage very recently: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/01/tech/twitter-rate-limit-exceeded/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/01/tech/twitter-rate-limit-excee... rather than cloud providers it would probably be more useful to compare to eg Instagram or TikTok
