TweetDeck.com is down, however TweetDeck nonetheless works

I ran right into a little bit of a shock after I tried to log into TweetDeck immediately: it didn’t work.

When I began typing the phrase “tweetdeck” into my URL bar, my browser steered the remainder of the URL, tweetdeck.com, like I’m used to. But after I hit the Enter key, my browser unexpectedly took a couple of seconds to try to load TweetDeck after which confirmed me this error message on a largely clean web page:

upstream join error or disconnect/reset earlier than headers. reset motive: connection failure

I bumped into the identical error in two totally different Chrome profiles after which started to panic. Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, I haven’t been tweeting as a lot, however I nonetheless depend on my many TweetDeck columns and alerts as necessary newsgathering instruments for my job.

To my reduction, nonetheless, a colleague advised me that TweetDeck was working for them, and we discovered why.

It seems that navigating to tweetdeck.com persistently throws the error I used to be seeing, however getting into tweetdeck.twitter.com hundreds TweetDeck simply tremendous. This appears to point that the problem with the shorter URL is a few type of redirect downside on Twitter’s finish.

We weren’t the one ones observing the problem. Freelance author Bob Bardsley tweeted the identical resolution on January 5th, and many individuals have thanked him within the replies.

As far as I can inform, Twitter hasn’t but addressed the problem in an official capability. It hasn’t talked about it on its TweetDeck Twitter account (which, as of this writing, hasn’t tweeted since August) or the Twitter Support account (which most lately tweeted on December twenty second, 2022). The firm didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark, although it has dissolved its press workplace.

Despite the various layoffs, together with extra this week, Twitter has usually labored as regular, although there have been a couple of bouts of glitchiness. And outdoors of this bizarre redirect challenge, TweetDeck has continued to work tremendous for me. Fingers crossed that any person at Twitter can repair what’s happening, however within the meantime, I’ll be getting into the complete TweetDeck URL into my browser to entry my candy, candy columns.
