Twitter is experiencing a massive outage right now6
Verge ^ | 10/15/20 | Nick Statt

Twitter is experiencing an outage that began in the early evening on Thursday, with some users reporting problems sending tweets and refreshing their timelines starting shortly after 5:30PM ET. We have seen no new tweets cross our timelines since then, though we were able to find a tweet sent as late as 5:40PM ET using Twitter’s search tool.

User-generated reports on Downdetector.com are skyrocketing as well, but there’s no communication from the company itself as to the nature of the outrage. Twitter’s last major outage, occurring in February of this year, still allowed users to circumvent that outage by scheduling tweets. This does not appear to be a useable workaround right now.

Parler is going nuts. They have the best hypotheses of what may be going on right now. It’s da bomb.

Someone is sending @jack a message.

Twitter being down is like having a raging (leftist) dumpster fire finally extinguished.

I’m not seeing a problem here.

Care to share, since those of us NOT on Parler, can’t see anyone’s posts (unlike Twitville).

“Trump curse.”

Maybe Trump has a master switch that he can activate to shut this crazy shit down.

I would bet it is deliberate on their part to prevent the spread of content unfavorable to Joe.

If you can't shut down the story, shut down the thing that can spread the story.

If I'm the post office, and I need mail delivery to stop, what do I do? I shut myself down.

Leftists are trying to distract from the Hunter Biden scandal by spamming Twitter with the #EricTrumpUkraineScandal hashtag. Right before the crash I was going through tweets with the #EricTrumpUkraineScandal hashtag and posting a link to the Hunter Biden N.Y. Post expose reposted on the GOP House website, along with a #CrookedJoeBiden hashtag. I must have made well over 100 such posts. A number of conservatives were asking people to use the #EricTrumpUkraineScandal against the lefties by posting the Hunter Biden scandal story in tweets with that hashtag. It is a full blown hashtag war and the volume may have been too much for poor Jack's dying bird.

Not back for me.

#CrookedJoeBiden is trending number 1. Maybe that broke twitter.

The same Verge that had an absolutely terrible PC build video?

Reaction video here with maybe some mild language, I haven't watched it in a little while.

Read post 37. It was #1 with twice as many tweets as #2. The Eric hashtag wasn’t even in the list.
