I understand there's an increased error rate, that's how I concluded there is an attempted DOS. But it appears not to be working completely, and so a post claiming X is "down" does appear to be pre-coordinated to reflect the _intended_ rather than _actual_ effect.
Let's say this is a DOS causing the outage - if the DOS is bad enough that the service is out for enough users then that is effectively an outage, regardless of the cause.
Saying this post is part of a coordinated campaign to damage the X brand is just ridiculous though - it's clear that X IS down for a large number of users.
Thought the UK had been cut off from X, good to know it's everyone :D
Seems down here in Brazil

It's working fine here

x.com showing cloudflare origin error

This post appears to be part of a coordinated DOS campaign against X to maximize brand damage.

The brand damage is coming from inside the house.
HN isn’t the place to spread these sort of lies. Glad it’s up for you. Bring receipts if you see a “coordinated campaign”
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Not everything is a conspiracy.
