@realcaseyrollins @dpp Yes! The last multihour outage was SIX YEAR PRIOR to Musk's purchase. Twitter had continuously improved its infrastructure and was a technical leader, sponsoring basic language and tooling improvements that served the rest of us very well. Musk killed all that. He is so efficient. 1/

@realcaseyrollins @dpp Of course there were small and partial outages. But they got much worse post-Musk. Here's a graph from CISCO. Unfortunately, its axes are unlabled. If Y is count and X is duration, you can see this story very directly. But it might not be so, since X is entirely unlabeled, grains of salt. But though X has muddled through, quality of service has consistently suffered post-Musk. Today is a cherry on top. https://www.thousandeyes.com/blog/internet-report-twitter-to-x-outages-performance

@realcaseyrollins @dpp here's https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/

it's an order of magnitude worse an outage than anything over the five years pre-Musk. it's worse than the 2016 outage. it's comparable to the a 2012 outage that took Twitter down for more than 2 hours.

these were problems Twitter had solved. X has unsolved them.

let's see what's next. because when you burn down the house for fuel, the lean-to you build for shelter might prove to have disadvantages.
