If you tried to use X this morning (April 23) and saw something wonky, you’re not alone.
The social media platform formerly known as Twitter was acting up all morning. For some users, it showed reposts as the manual RTs of yore. Other users couldn’t update their home screen or trending topics but could see updates in specific people’s profiles.

Some of you might consider this to be great (healthy) or you might consider it to be horrible (not healthy) or you might not think about it at all (very healthy). But no matter what, you weren’t alone: Down Detector showed that loads of users were complaining about “problems” with using the platform with outages spiking at 9:56 a.m. ET. (Down Detector is owned by ZiffDavis, Mashable’s parent company.)
Not to worry — after about an hour, the site is back up and running. X didn’t post about the short outage.
