  • 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.

Now this is the kind of X news I'm okay with reading.

Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.

And nothing of value was lost.

Reddit was like this, even way before the enshittification.

It happened so often on Reddit, it wasn't even news.

And the owner wants to "automate" the US government with AI.

The idiots are in charge.

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.

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