Micro-blogging platform Twitter suffered a setback when several social media users themselves took to the social media site to lodge complaints.
“Welcome to Twitter! This is the best place to see what's happening in your world. Find some people and topics to follow now,” the message appeared to some users who tried to access their feeds. DownDetector, a website that tracks global website and platform outages, reported 619 complaints from users in India.
The Twitter glitch triggered an internet meme fest, with netizens showing their funny side to draw attention to resource access issues. “Welcome to Twitter! Twitter seems to think I'm new today. Maybe I'm a Tweeter reborn,” the user tweeted.
Another user tweeted,"Elon Musk currently at Twitter’s HQ trying to fix the servers after laying off 50 engineers #TwitterDown".
At the time of publishing of this report, there is no update from Twitter's official medium.
