    Yeah, it's down. Musk should stop working remotely and get back to the office to fix it ASAP!

    What are X/twitter alternatives ? I left twitter after recent Musk pro Russian statements.

    One of my first jobs was working at a fast food place, and my first night on the job, I was taking the trash out, and the thing tipped over, spilling it all over the parking lot, and I just said "fuck this" and went home and never came back. If I worked at Twitter right now, I'd be thinking about doing something like that again.

    His claim is that it's a DDOS attack.

    Not my area of engineering, so forgive me, but: is an external DDOS a plausible threat for competently engineered public service in 2025? I kind of got the impression those were solved problems in practice?

    It works fine for me, both twitter.com (which redirects to x.com) and x.com

    Why does HN sometimes de-duplicate submissions, but not others? This other submission is the exact same link, but 3 minutes earlier:

    Is there any source for this being an attack other than Elon's tweet. I hope reporters aren't just taking his word for this given all of his past lies.

    It's giving me problems and has been very inconsistent for about 90 minutes to 2 hours at this point. I got a partial refresh of my feed, but a lot is not working. The Grok AI appears down as well.

    Good.

    I see reports dating to back to around 4am. did the dst switch take it down?
  • by adamc on 3/10/25, 5:08 PM

    No loss.

    They need laid off more people now.
