Downdetector Highlights Major X Twitter Outage Impacting Users
Understanding the X Twitter Outage
The X platform, previously known as Twitter, has been grappling with another significant outage, with Downdetector recording widespread disruptions across multiple regions. On August 28, 2023, users encountered persistent error messages stating 'posts aren’t loading right now.'
Scope of the Outage
- In the United States, over 36,500 users reported issues during peak hours.
- Canada faced over 3,300 reported problems.
- The UK recorded more than 1,600 instances.
- India started seeing disruptions at around 9 AM IST, with over 700 reports.
This service disruption has particularly affected mobile app users, preventing them from refreshing their feeds or accessing new posts. This incident continues a trend of technical difficulties that have plagued X since its acquisition by Elon Musk.
Recurring Issues and Backlash
Elon Musk, who has openly criticized the platform's technical problems, previously labeled its codebase as 'brittle.' Following a similar outage earlier in August, users have begun expressing their frustrations more vocally.
