That&#8217;s what happened to me: I went to refresh my feed one last time before stepping away for the weekend, but noticed that nothing was loading. In fact, the site acted as if I had a brand-new account, and invited me to explore users to follow. But whenever I clicked anything, I&#8217;d just get errors. <\/p>\n<p>I thought it might have just been on my end, because <a href=\"https:\/\/downdetector.com\/status\/twitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\" rel=\"noopener\">when I checked Downdetector<\/a>, the site said: &#8220;User reports show\u00a0no current problems\u00a0with\u00a0X (Twitter).&#8221; Indeed, the chart was flat, minus a small spike earlier today. But the comments were full of users talking about the site not working, confirming that I wasn&#8217;t alone here.

(It might even be up by the time you read this.) But it comes at the same time that X competitor Bluesky experienced interruptions to service due to a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS). It could be a coincidence, but in Bluesky&#8217;s case, the issue didn&#8217;t stem from a bug\u2014instead, it was an attacker flooding Bluesky&#8217;s servers with too much traffic to function.  <\/p><\/div>\n<pre><code>        var facebookPixelLoaded = false;\n        window.addEventListener(\"load\", function() {\n            document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", facebookPixelScript);\n            document.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", facebookPixelScript);\n        });\n\n        function facebookPixelScript() {\n            if (!facebookPixelLoaded) {\n                facebookPixelLoaded = true;\n                document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", facebookPixelScript);\n                document.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", facebookPixelScript);\n                window.zdconsent.cmd.push(function() {\n                    ! function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                        if (f.fbq) return;\n                        n = f.fbq = function() {\n                            n.callMethod ?\n                                n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n                        };\n                        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                        n.push = n;\n                        n.loaded = !0;\n                        n.version = \"2.0\";\n                        n.queue = [];\n                        t = b.createElement(e);\n                        t.async = !0;\n                        t.src = v;\n                        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n                    }(window,\n                        document, \"script\", \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\");\n                    fbq(\"init\", \"37418175030\");\n                    fbq(\"track\", \"PageView\");\n                });\n            }\n        }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/tech\/x-is-down-right-now\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re trying to access X on Friday afternoon (Eastern Time), you might be hitting a roadblock.
