Alan Musk owned social media platform X (earlier known as Twitter) once again faced a large -scale global outage (technical fault). Due to this outage, millions of users around the world faced difficulties in using the platform. It is one of the many technical disturbances on X in recent months, which has questioned the stability and reliability of the platform.
What problems did users have?
During the outage, the users complained of various types of problems. Many users were not able to refresh their timeline, so it was impossible to post (tweet) for some or like to like and retweet others’ posts. Some users also had trouble logging on the platform, while others were seeing ‘error’ messages. This problem was seen on both web and mobile apps.
Increased complaints on downdetector:
On the online outage tracking website downdetector.com, there was a rapid increase in complaints about the down of X. Thousands of users reported there that they were having trouble using X. This outage was mainly felt in various fields including parts of America, Europe and Asia.
Reaction from the company (potential):
Usually in such cases X’s support team or Alan Musk himself accepts the technical problem through a post on the platform and informs it to fix it. This time too, it is expected that the company will soon find out the reasons for this outage and fix it. However, repeated outage outages spoil the experience of users and reduce their trust in the platform.
Why are you getting out of repeated outage?
Ever since Allen Musk acquired Twitter and rebrands it as X, the company has taken several major changes, including large -scale employees trimmed. Some technical experts believe that these changes and less employees are facing problems in the maintenance of the technical infrastructure of the platform, causing such outages.
At the moment, users are waiting for the X to recover completely. Such incidents also highlight the complexity of social media platforms and our dependence on them.
