Did you lose access to X on Friday? You weren't the only one. Over 62,000 users reported issues connecting to the platform during the day. The outage sparked a wave of complaints on alternative social networks, with many wondering what was happening. Although this isn't the first time the platform has faced such interruptions, the extent of this impact drew attention. Some users were able to reconnect after a while, while others reported longer-lasting problems. A reminder of how dependent we are on these platforms to stay connected.

X has crashed again? LOL, 62,000 people is still considered few, right?

According to research, this failure event involving 62,000 users actually reflects the systemic risks of centralized platform architecture — from a technical perspective, the impact of single points of failure often spreads exponentially. It is worth noting that this is not the first time such interruptions have occurred with X.

620,000 users went offline. To determine the true impact ratio, we need to consider the overall user base... However, relying on a single platform is indeed a systemic risk; diversification is necessary.

It's crashing again. X platform is really becoming more and more unstable.
