You and I actually use Twitter in the same way. The era of Elon's ownership is the most unreliable the site has been since the days of the Fail Whale. The recent reliability fails have been publicized and obvious to those who engage with the site, and I've anecdotally noticed an uptick in the use of twitter proxies like fxtwitter, vxtwitter, nitter, threadreader, and others to help make twitter posts more available and reliable.
This is on top of the other existential threats to the site. The company is still mired in an enormous amount of debt. The site cannot attract even the marginal ad spend that the previous ownership managed. Threads has yet to release a publicly available web interface. BlueSky has yet to leave private beta.
So I feel very justified in saying that Twitter has not been doing okay since the Elon purchase, and I didn't even have to bring partisanship into the equation.
