Twitter is down, so people are up with memes

As Twitter users face service outages, they took to the platform to report it. Many even took the opportunity and shared memes.

Several Twitter users recently took to the microblogging platform to report that their tweets were temporarily deleted. Some also added that their pinned tweets were automatically unpinned. At one point, even the official account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed: “@narendramodi hasn’t Tweeted. When they do, their Tweets will show up here.” The tweets, however, were later restored.
