X is DOWN: Users say posts and feedback are disappearing

Elon Musk‘s X appears to be experiencing issues as users report posts and comments are disappearing.

DownDetector, a site that monitors online outages, the app, website and posting are having problems. 

The outage appears to be worldwide, plaguing users in the US, the UK, parts of Europe and other countries, but it is unclear how many people have been impacted. 

Users have shared on X that their posts are not staying on the site – one person said her tweets about the Wuhan coronavirus have disappeared.

Others have noted that they cannot see some replies or find a post on their page after sharing it. 

Issue reports received by DownDetector shows 47 percent of users are having problems with the app, 36 percent cited the website and 18 percent said posting.

Other problems include unsolvable captchas, losing followers and payments to creators being halted, according to one X member.  

X is currently flooded with users asking others if they see their posts because they are not showing up on profiles. 

The issue has caused some people to think they have been shadow banned from the platform, which is when someone is blocked from a social media site without knowledge.

They can still log in to their account and see content, but their posts will not be visible to others.

Issue reports to DownDetector appear in the thousands, which is minor compared to other social media glitches that see hundreds of thousands.

The last time X had a major glitch was in April, which impacted posting and the main feed.

But, just like the current outage, some users had full access to the platform.
