How is twitter unreliable?


It's perfectly reliable people are just projecting


Anecdotally, about ~20% of the time I attempt to load Twitter on mobile - none of the user-posted images will load.

It's an absolute headache - and there doesn't appear to be a user-side explanation for it.

There's definitely things breaking in new and exciting ways.


It's kind of unfortunate that Twitter has become so politicized that people will downvote you for pointing out that Twitter has bugs.

I suppose if it agrees with one's politics, it therefore cannot possibly have bugs, and if anyone reports a bug, that person is obviously just faking it for political points.


twitter has always had bugs, no one thinks it doesn't have bugs... not sure what you're talking about


Have you seen how they've treated developers over the past year?


> How is twitter unreliable?

For starters, Elon Musk's Twitter jacked up prices for API access out of the blue.

There are not many companies that want to pay half a million dollars a year to get bug reports.


As far as I know you don't need to pay half a million dollars to read your mentions.


Have you used Twitter lately? About 25% of the time I open it, random content fails to load and I have to refresh the page.

I assume the lack of remaining software engineers probably has something to do with it.


Haven't experienced that once. Always seems fine to me.
