“I scream. You scream. We all scream… for us to fix this page. We’ll stop making jokes and get things up and running soon,” a representative from X stated as users reported widespread issues accessing the platform.
As of 4:18 p.m. ET, users have been struggling to use X, the site formerly known as Twitter. Reports indicate that approximately 60 percent of users are having trouble logging onto the website, while 17 percent are facing difficulties with the app.
At the time of reporting, the platform has been down for over twenty minutes. Many users are unable to access the website entirely, with some even unable to get past the login screen. The situation has prompted a surge of activity on alternative platforms like Instagram and Reddit, where users often flock during outages.
Interestingly, navigating to the website without an account only leads to the sign-up page, and attempts to refresh the page by hitting the ‘retry’ button have proven ineffective.
In a humorous twist, the website currently displays an image of an ice cream that has hit the ground, accompanied by a light-hearted message about the outage. This reflects the platform’s attempt to maintain a sense of humor amid the technical difficulties.
X has experienced outages in the past, but it has been quite some time since users faced such significant access issues. As the company works to resolve the problems, there is currently no timetable for when normal service will resume.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the cause of the outage, but the situation continues to develop as users await updates from X.
