Ask HN: Is Twitter sign in down?

37 points by jfroma 12y ago

I'm not able to sign in with any of my accounts.

Yes. I just posted a similar link but it was taken down for some reason. I'm curious why my post would be removed, but yours remains?

  flagkilled Means enough people flagged it to kill it.
  - TiltedKings 12y ago
    Thanks for letting me know. I obviously should have given it a better title.

I just tried to sign in, just to check for you, and got an error message: Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.

From Android only, it seems.
- TiltedKings 12y ago
  Nope. If you're not signed in on a desktop/laptop you will get the same message
  - palmaec 12y ago
    Ok. Just confirmed that.

I got a notification on Android that I was signed out and I haven't been able to sign back in. Everything's fine on my computer, though.

Glad to see that others got "signed out." I was reluctant to retry.

Tweetdeck is showing all tweets as 365-364 days old in the stream, but has an accurate date when you click for the full view. Web Twitter seems to be unaffected. The forced mobile signouts started about a half hour ago (~7:20PM ET) based on what I've seen in my feed.

As usual, we see an influx of people managing apps relying on those centralized services for authentication, the very gateway to the product those people are selling. How much of your livelihood are you willing to wager on the reliability on Twitter's servers?

  That workaround didn't work for me. Auth from either / or /logout both come back with: "Twitter is currently down for maintenance. We expect to be back shortly. For more information, check out Twitter Status. Thanks for your patience!" I first noticed this when the mobile app (Android) notified me of an auth error. Still no word on http://status.twitter.com/ http://status.twitter.com/

I got signed out of my Android client, can't log back in and if I go to my profile url the user isn't found. Kinda concerning.
