Social media platform X suffers global outages::Users were unable to view posts on the social media site for just over an hour.

And nothing of value was lost.
Except for a missed opportunity to push for users to jump ship to a Mastodon instance.
That will come with time. As more companies embrace it, more people will follow.
Yes, but every little effort helps.
Agree but I am not sure what that couple of hours of downtime would have done to further the movement
Well, for some it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Twitter hasn’t exactly been great prior to the outage.
Right, but, how many people could have been persuaded to move if twitter didn’t have an outage? That’s my point. Nothing of value was lost, including moving people to mastodon and the like. Along with pushing mastodon on twitter, we should be jumping on every twitter news article and discussion here and on reddit and reminding people that an alternative exists.
It won’t be long before the only ones left on twitter are bots, trolls and idiots.
Elon probably unplugged a whole datacenter again.

Counterpoint. They were writing too much code that didn’t add value to X, according to Elon, and were fired.

Oh no. Anyways…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, suffered global outages for just over an hour on Thursday.
According to Downdetector.com, which tracks outages by collating status reports, more than 47,000 US users faced access issues with X and X Pro.
The hashtag #TwitterDown started trending within minutes of reports of the outages emerging.
Since Mr Musk bought the platform, it has been suffering from a loss of advertising revenue.
The company has since sued a left-leaning pressure group, Media Matters for America, which made the accusation.
Last month, Elon Musk slammed advertisers that left X, saying they would kill the social media platform.
