very funny that THE BACKROOMS seems to be about a giant structure built out in the exurbs that nobody knows anything about but is discovered because it's mysteriously causing huge electric bills
This website is so cool. No other site would let me post something, get a response that sucks and tell me "actually you don't need to do this" and shut me down.
⚠️ **BREAKING NEWS: X Reply Glitch Persists into May 31 as Users Continue Reporting Failures After App Update**
The widespread issue preventing many X (formerly Twitter) users from posting replies remains active as of late Saturday evening, with fresh complaints pouring in over the past few hours.
Real-time monitoring services like Downdetector continue to show no major platform-wide outage, with overall user reports staying at normal background levels. However, the specific reply-function bug tied to the latest mobile app update is still affecting a significant number of users.
Recent real-time posts on X include users reporting:
- “What is going on with X? I can’t reply to posts but I can post. This is happening to lots of people RN.”
- “I can’t reply now 😭”
- “I just like… can’t reply to anything right now?”
- “Can’t reply to posts since app update. But can make my own. Just not replies.”
The problem primarily hits the mobile app (especially Android), where replies fail with errors like “Something went wrong” or “Failed to send,” while original posts and quotes often work fine. The web version at https://t.co/a6vBj8antQ continues to serve as a reliable workaround for most affected users.
**No Official Word Yet**
X has not issued any statement or acknowledgment regarding this ongoing glitch. The company has a track record of quietly rolling out fixes for similar app-specific bugs within hours or a day.
**Workarounds Still Effective**
- Switch to the web browser version at https://t.co/a6vBj8antQ.
- Force-close and restart the mobile app (or check for a new update).
- Log out and back in.
- Clear app cache (Android) or offload/reinstall (iOS).
This issue appears to be rolling and intermittent rather than universal, hitting some accounts and devices harder than others. It began gaining traction late on May 30 and has carried over into May 31 without resolution.
Further updates will be provided as soon as X comments or the glitch is patched. If you’re still unable to reply, you’re definitely not alone right now.
