Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage:

- “Invalid Handle” everywhere
- Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow)
- Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow)
- Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff

Should’ve joined Blue Sky a while ago & although my minimally used Twitter account (2008-2024) will likely soon be put to rest, it has been eye-opening watching that place over the last 1-2 years.
