Twitter's Brief Downtime Left Many Online With Humorous Theories Behind the Outage

One person wondered if Twitter deleted their account. Earlier this week, Trump's campaign complained they were locked out of using their accounts because they shared a video about Hunter Biden and shared the unsubstantiated report from the New York Post on Biden's son.
One person joked that Twitter might have gone out to "get milk." The tweet, featuring SpongeBob Squarepants, got plenty of funny replies itself. "Who hold on they pulled up in the driveway. They came back," one person responded after Twitter began working again.
Facebook might have been happy to see Twitter go down for a period of time. After all, for about an hour, the only place you could go to complain about Twitter being down was Facebook.
Was Twitter angry about something we did? One person theorized we were all being put in a corner for something we said.
Even when Twitter came back, some users noticed some notifications were missing. One person was worried that their bookmarks of cute animal videos were missing. In 2020, we all need cute animal videos, after all.
One Twitter user was stunned to see that not only was the social network down, but she also reached "the end" of Instagram, Facebook's photo-sharing app. They joked it was time to find their way out of The Matrix.
