【Mister, Do It With Me, Not With Mom】

If you tried to use X this morning (April 23) and Mister, Do It With Me, Not With Momsaw 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.)

• X / Twitter use is down by nearly a quarter since the Musk Era started, report says
• Elon Musk still plans to turn X / Twitter into a PayPal dupe
• Twitter/X might charge all new users a 'small fee' before they can post, like, and reply
• Yet another former Twitter/X exec is suing Elon Musk for millions in unpaid severance
• Twitter/X's ChatGPT rival Grok is now open source. Here's how to get it.

Not to worry — after about an hour, the site is back up and running. X didn't post about the short outage.
