X users howl into the void as timelines fail to load

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X is experiencing an outage, with users worldwide reporting that their timelines no longer show the usual information flow. X (formerly Twitter) does not have a status page to indicate what is up or down, although its Developer Platform Status page said: "All systems are operational." A …

Oh dear.

How sad.

Never mind.

I was going to post this verbatim.

This is not funny!

Now where do I get my misinformation from without having X?

Re: This is not funny!

"Now where do I get my misinformation from without having X?"

Truth Social ? Pravda ? Sky ?

I guess the real question is the negation of yours viz where do I not get my misinformation ?

Inside surface of a cardboard bogroll core would be favourite.

The truth might be out there but is decidedly coy; certainly not easily discoverable.

_{Does anyone reckon that the teen Space Karen had the hots for agent Scully ? Might explain the the whole X thing. (Not saying Gillian Anderson wasn't hot.:)}

Excellent

Desired state achieved (not that I ever noticed or ever would), freeze all changes now.

By the way, regarding "With luck, Musk will explain when the service staggers back to its feet.": please don't.

[Bebu sa Ware]

The first 100% AI managed service to fail…

permanently ?

Can only hope.

It is an (X X), it'll Xeet no more.

Somebody included rm -rf / in a post and Grok read it as a prompt.

Working as designed

They rolled out a Nazi content filter and it filtered just the Nazi posts from everyone's timeline.

Nothing of value was lost

I truly wonder why anyone bothered with that cesspit any more.

I can't see how anyone who's in or has friends in the LGBTQIA+ community, is part of a minority, has a shred of decency etc could be there in good conscience

Re: Nothing of value was lost

I'm gay and use Twitter all the time. As do all of my friends. I do love a sweeping generalisation before breakfast.

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: Nothing of value was lost

I have friends in all those letters (and they are not one big happy group, they have conflicting interests) and use X.

My conscience is clear, thanks

Wait, what?

I thought failing to show timeline activity was a paid for feature and only the proles had to see the torrent of sewage flowing through Twitter?

[IGotOut]

Maybe its a test.

...to see how the world would be devastated by Twitter going down. The reason for the silence is Man Child is upset no one cared and he wants to pretend it never happened.

[IGnatius T Foobar !]

It's back up.

Gee, and with a few minutes of X being down, I lost the value of the entire $0 I was paying for the free service.

It's something to work on and fix, but it's not the end of the world.

I see more Elon-hate here than I do any actual thoughts on uptime.

"I see more Elon-hate here than I do any actual thoughts on uptime.”

Do you wonder if there might, just might, be a good reason for that?

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: It's back up.

You previously said Elon Musk is a genius.

So, is there a point?

[BartyFartsLast]

Re: It's back up.

Downtime is also a valid subject here.

We are aiming for five nines downtime for Elmo.

Users forced to experience Real Life for a day - the horror!

X / Twitter falls over for a day - temporarily the collective IQ of the human race goes up by 1 point!

Indirectly implying site-formerly-known-as-Twitter is the equivalent of low-level lead poisoning.

The dolled up forum

Twitter obviously got a bit overloaded while their AI harvested all accounts to make new videos. All of which will be available on x.xxx providing you pass the age check, and the pay wall...

The X Files

Must be the alien revelations.

The truth is out there, when that page finally loads.

[Winkypop]

“the timeline is not loading”

And for a brief time, citizens of the troubled 21st century enjoyed peace, contentment and a reasonable dose of the truth.

It was not to last, unfortunately.
