The whole site has been in disrepair for the past 3 years, and with all the breaches and issues lately, this downtime included, is the result.

If it makes you guys feel even better, just know that such failure to maintain software for so long, mostly complex and widely used like Xitter, means that it won’t get fixed easily at all. The knots are everywhere and will require even more time to untangle. Musk destroys everything he touches and I am at least happy about “this” one.
