On Wednesday, the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, experienced a significant outage, leaving thousands of users unable to access their feeds. The issue appears to be widespread, with numerous reports from countries such as India and the United States. According to Downdetector, a popular platform for reporting online outages, most reports began flooding in after 8:47 AM IST, with global complaints surpassing 28,000 during this time.

While the outage has affected a large number of users, it seems that not everyone is experiencing the same difficulties. Our own tests on the platform, both on the web and mobile app, showed no issues in accessing accounts or feeds. This suggests that the outage, although significant, might not be as widespread in certain regions.

In response to the outage, many users took to alternative social media platforms such as Facebook and Reddit to discuss and confirm the disruption. Interestingly, some users reported being able to post on X despite not being able to view their feeds or interact with others.

This incident marks the latest in a series of outages at X since Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform. However, it does not appear to be as severe as the previous major outage in December last year. As of now, the cause of the current outage remains unclear, and X has yet to release an official statement detailing the issues.

For many users, this outage has been a moment of nostalgia, reminding them of the early days of other social media platforms. With X currently down for some, many are turning to these older platforms to share their experiences and reminisce. As the situation develops, users are eagerly awaiting more information from X regarding the cause of the disruption and when they can expect the service to be fully restored.
