The website isn't working on Windows or Android, so I assume you're using an app? I guess the apps are routed through different infrastructure if they're still functional - or maybe coincidental timing, seems to be up again now Properly falling apart though, it's the inevitable consequence of alienating all your skilled staff and having only employees who are arse kissers or simply trapped (a lot of visa hostages still there apparently). He couldn't have run this company into the ground more effectively if he was trying. Edited April 21, 2023 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm using the official Twitter app. That would suggest the API is working fine still even if the website is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a few months ago they tried to revoke API access from some third parties and took down their own website. I have absolutely no idea what the root cause was of this outage but I wouldn't bet against them doing the same thing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
