Ask HN: Anyone else having trouble with Twitter?

45 pointsColinWright24 comments

Currently searches aren't loading, and my standard web interface is intermittent.

Based in the UK ... anyone else having trouble?

(Edit: If you're happy to do so, it can be helpful for people to give a location, just to get a sense of whether it's connection based or data-centre based ... thanks)

"Twitter may not be loading for some of you –– we're working on a fix to get you back to your timelines ASAP." https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/155707228365465190...

I love when companies use their main site to notify users of downtime.

Everyone rushing to check this maybe?

I noticed some wonkiness from Canada. Other than what other people have described already, some things I clicked on just gave a completely blank screen, but still surrounded by the usual Twitter side bar content, etc. No errors presented.

Sites do updates all the time, and often this kind of wonkiness is a result of that. So I just went onto something else for a while, and when I returned, everything was normal again.

I'm having the problem that loading a single tweet needs like 10 seconds, and it's not my ISP that's at fault.

I'm having the problem that I can't scroll down more than 4 tweets without logging in.

I'm having the problem that the website is unusable without a proper client because it doesn't show a linear timeline of only people I am following.

But I guess that's not what you meant.

I'm having issues with Twitter and Slack.

Edit: North East US

Twitter works OK here (north of Boston)

Mobile app loads, but I am only able to see previously viewed tweets, nothing new.

When clicking on a tweet, replies do not load. I just get the spinner.

Same with search.

It seems I can log in, but am not able to fetch new content.

Located in US/Midwest.

Edit: as soon as I posted this, it is working fine again for me.

Yes, even with Nitter instances: https://xnaas.github.io/nitter-instances/

(not surprising since it depends on Twitter)

Not only the main instance (nitter.net) but the other instances are also acting slow.

Sometimes they fetch data or do not load at all.

Yes, on mobile. I can generally see the tweet, but any replies take a long time to load. When I sent a reply of my own, it took a long time as well.

Definitely been eating shit over here in Finland. Pages might load, but only occasionally show me as logged in.

Ukraine, all works perfectly. I have logged after years without using it and tweeted something. No problems.

It just started refusing to load stuff. I keep getting the infinispinny. Georgia, US.

It seems to be working again for me in the UK.

Intermittent loads for me. (Eastern Canada)

Very slow for me here in Ecuador.

Not loading for me in the UK.

No problem at Alabama, US

Musk is having a few.

Logged out in Germany

Yes, in central USA

Down in Serbia.

Working again.
