Twitter Faces Major Outage—What’s Happening Right Now?

So, Twitter is down today, and let’s be honest—it’s a mess. If you’re trying to refresh your feed, send a tweet, or check the latest NFL updates, you’re probably hitting a brick wall. And on a day packed with big sports news, this couldn’t have come at a worse time. But don’t worry—if you’re looking for updates, we’ve got you covered on Bluesky and Threads.

Mike Florio over at PFT has confirmed that all their Twitter posts are being redirected to Bluesky and Threads until things are back up and running. He’s personally making sure Bluesky gets the latest news, though even that platform seems to be experiencing a few hiccups. Social media meltdowns like this aren’t unheard of, but they sure do bring back some frustrating memories.

For Florio and the PFT crew, this outage is eerily reminiscent of one of their worst experiences in 2009. Back then, the first day of free agency saw such a massive surge in traffic that it crashed their servers entirely. The situation got so bad that even SportingNews.com couldn’t handle the load, forcing them to seek refuge at NBCSports.com. That temporary move turned into a long-term partnership—one that’s still going strong today.

With Twitter struggling, many users are flocking to other platforms to stay informed. Bluesky, Threads, and even Mastodon have seen spikes in activity as people try to find alternative spaces to discuss trending topics. However, not everyone is happy about having to switch platforms, and some are just waiting it out, hoping Twitter gets back on its feet soon.

As for when Twitter will be back? That’s the big question. There’s been no official word from Elon Musk or the Twitter team yet, but given the platform’s history of outages, it might take a while. Meanwhile, sports fans and journalists are adapting as best they can, moving conversations to whatever platform is still functioning.

So, if you’re looking for the latest NFL free agency news, don’t worry—it’s still out there. You might just have to look beyond Twitter to find it today. Stay tuned, and let’s hope the bird app gets its act together soon!
