Well, RIP twitter I guess. Although strangely if I search the news archives for outages with date set to before 2022..

You get what? Anything close to that long? Don't leave me hanging!

I did the same and found a Guardian article that claims no Twitter outage lasted even an hour since 2016, but I thought it was irrelevant because articles about outages aren't exactly top-notch in quality.

Did you find anything better? If so, do share! I'd be happy to be proven wrong!

Actual Guardian article from 2016 discussing twitter outage lasting more than one hour:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/19/twitter-d...

Amusing comments over there from readers.

You are right and I am wrong. And I'm sorry. RIP Twitter.

How is that against what I said? I said no outage lasted over an hour since 2016 and you disprove that by posting a 2016 article of an outage that lasted maybe two hours? (I don't know, the article doesn't specify.)

Is let's say five hours and sixteen hours within the same ballpark? I'm not interested in a couple of hours, my claim is not one lasted 10 or more in the past decade. If such a thing actually happened, I'm sure someone would've posted it by now.
