X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage. (htxt.co.za)

X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.

This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.

The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

Can we get a permanent outage of that goddamned website, pretty please? For the sake of humanity?

There have been so many instances where i wanna see replies of a post or more stuff about a person, but then that mandatory account log in wall kicks in.

Add “cancel” after the X in the url for workaround access. Like any other workaround, this will only work until it doesn’t anymore

It would be poetic if the cyber attacks would be coming from Ukrainian hackers.

But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?

What can we do to keep it like this forever?

Funny enough, Anonymous is claiming it was them.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Oh no!

Anyway...

I wouldn't notice

[–] [email protected] 16 points 23 hours ago

Good. Sadly it was fixed.

And the owner wants to "automate" the US government with AI.

The idiots are in charge.

The US are truly turning into a real-life version of "Idiocracy". I'm just waiting for Trump's orders to start watering crops with Gatorade
