• 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.

    God I hope there’s some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.

    Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot

          I was just talking to a friend who’s very anti-nazi (at least, that’s what he says), told him that by staying there, he’s feeding the nazis. He says that he’s the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.

              I mean, there’s no comparison. Punching Nazis is always cool, Twitter is just talking to them, which never is. You and fifty friends go on Twitter and dunk on Nazis all day and you’re still just at a table talking with the enemy. Take fifty friends to a Nazi bar and throw punches, you’ve just improved the neighbourhood.

      Nazis, people who aren’t bothered enough that a Nazi owns it to leave it for Bluesky, and bots, lots of bots.

          Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon

          Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.

          Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.

        I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.

        Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).

    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.
