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.

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.

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.

Elon fired the maintenance guys yet again?

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 3 points 6 hours ago

Them people are just paid to sit around. Why would you bother?

Source; work in maintenance.

It would be poetic if the cyber attacks would be coming from Ukrainian hackers.

[–] reidand@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 hours ago

Make it permanent next time.

Funny enough, Anonymous is claiming it was them.

Elon must be experiencing withdrawal symptoms right about now.
