X/Twitter down? Platform shows ‘welcome to your timeline’ on feed instead of tweets

Dec -21 : Around 11 am. on Thursday, the microblogging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a technical issue. Instead of the standard tweets on the feed, "Welcome to your timeline" was displayed on the website and in the mobile application. It appears that users were unable to access the platform due to a significant outage. Over seventy thousand people have reported being unable to use the platform, according to Downdetector. Furthermore, the cause of this problem is unknown at this time. Many users flocked to Facebook to voice their concerns after the outage. A user named Samuel Oseremen Imoisili wrote, "Please, who uses X/twitter, seems the app is not working or someone should help me confirm.""Myself and other Twitter users are holding onto (going back to) Facebook. Tony Thee Goon, a different Facebook user who also shared a meme, wrote, "Since our app is down." The outage that X is experiencing is not new. There were outages on the Elon Musk-owned platform in March and July of this year. According to a July report from Downdetector, X experienced over 13,000 outages in both the US and the UK. People reported seeing the message "We apologise, but your rate is limited." Kindly wait a short while before attempting again." In a similar vein, the platform experienced a brief outage on March 6. Many users expressed dissatisfaction over their inability to use it normally or their difficulties accessing links, photos, and videos. This outage impacted thousands of people, and many users in certain areas reported that the website was operating slower than usual.
