Is it X or another Cloudflare outage, though... Let's wait till this plays out - I'm personally struggling to open quite a few websites I regularly visit right now. Until recently, I wouldn't have thought Cloudflare could be the culprit, however since their most recent outage their reputation has been less than stellar.

  Wow, the numbers on the y-axis on downdetector are spectacular. I'm used to seeing a few hundred or maybe thousand. Never seen 10's of thousands shortly after an outage before. Peak as at 15:28 UTC (UTC+0) is 45,394. EDIT: 68,442 as at 15:29 UTC (UTC+0)

Wow... Twitter being down today must mean the economy is losing billions of $ in lost procrastination.

  With the amount of bots, datacenter power, and procrastination, is it possible that an X outage has a net positive impact on the economy in the billions?

I was waiting for this. Elon Musk was criticizing Signal for being down with the AWS outage. Now X chat is down at the same time as X.

My first thought was cloudflare issue. But seems isolated to twitter?
