  Are Twitter outages still newsworthy?

  Almost every day I am unable to load tweet images, unable to load threads, unable to load a person’s tweets. For a few days now I haven’t been able to refresh the main timeline. All in the official app.

  I’ve accepted this as the new normal for someone like me who will never pay for a subscription to just read a few tweets.

  The quick enshittification of Twitter curbs my social media use so I guess that’s one good outcome.

  Yes, a spike of reports is visible on downdetector:

  UPD I'm observing an interesting bug at the moment - "Following" timeline shows a random subset of recent tweets, different one on each reload.

  Now that Twitter has become Elon Musk's toy, is it still worth going?
