Can’t seem to load threads on the official mobile client. Others report issues as well: <a href="https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/" rel="nofollow">https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/</a><p>Would be ironic if it was cache related in light of this post yesterday: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30295542" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30295542</a>
There was a @paulg tweet saying that if there are multiple explanations for an event, choose the most boring one. Very much agree<p>edit: found it on Twitter search thanks to another comment<p>> Between two possible explanations for an event, prefer the more boring one.
Interestingly, if you go on the search page and search something, it shows the post just fine, even if you click on it. But if you then reload the page, it doesn't work<p><a href="https://twitter.com/search" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/search</a><p>Some people are able to post. Seems like third party stuff through the API though.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23twitter&src=typed_query&f=live" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/search?q=%23twitter&src=typed_query&f=li...</a>
Crazy thought: if there was to be a major event (say a Russian invasion of Ukraine) would taking down Twitter, which seems to have a high proportion of journalists and politicians on it, not be a smart move? The few hours of confusion it would buy might be valuable.<p>It’s most likely just a run-of-the-mill outage, but the thought crossed my mind.
Also seeing it here in Japan and has been reported by my coworkers across multiple continents. The twitter.com site is also broken; not accepting cookied sessions nor logins.
Also experiencing issues. Weirdly on mobile I'm still getting like/RT/reply notifications but I can't actually open and load the tweet I'm getting notifications on.<p>Edit: What's weird/unexpected is I just got a "twitter is better on the app" popup...ON the app? I'm not even sure how that would be possible, does the twitter webapp/mobile app share that much code?
Yep, it is down for some users. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/11/twitter-is-down-2/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/11/twitter-is-down-2/</a>
Twitter is so weird. They have a big technical staff but they never, ever launch features, leading people to believe all the work is being done on reliability and efficiency on the backend, but at the same time they have total outages regularly and don't turn profits.
NE U.S. here, cannot reproduce any of this at all. App and browser are fine, cleared cache and cookies, can still log in, search, everything. A regular quantity of new tweets keep appearing.
