Surely this is due to Zuckerberg’s poor leadership and inevitable upcoming demise.

I say this sarcastically because that was the narrative whenever Twitter has had load issues.

That's a valid comparison iff you ignore everything else Musk did during and after the Twitter takeover.

Not saying people saying that where correct but it wasn't just people randomly blaming the CEO for no reason.

It's a reasonable response to Twitter's issues because of Musk publicising that he was going to clear out Twitter's bloated architecture. If you take responsibility for an architecture it's ok to be criticised if things go wrong.

As if performance issues at launch time were comparable to a 17-year old service that started having issues after his new CEO decided to fire 80% of the staff…

The instances aren't comparable.

It's normal to happen during extreme growth of several millions per hour. Less normal to suddenly happen to a functioning website post-organic growth for a decade.

I’m confused, one of the top comments says its app only, but here it shows its not.

FWIW, it loads just fine for me.

well, works for me, but a bit slow
