Whatever was bugging X seems to be done with.
We were even able to see theReddit Status accountupdates about the Reddit outage.
MLB.TV down on Opening Day!
A reader reached out to let us know that MLB.TV also seems to be having issues.
We are seeing a number of reports on Down Detector for MLB TV, currently around 12,000.
We were investigating what services underlie X and Reddit (both use AWS).
We don’t know yet if MLB.TV runs on a similar service.
As oneBluesky userwrote, “imagine a baseball season where the mlb app is actually functional.”
The accountAwful Announcingon Bluesky posted that their screens are showing a “web connection Error.”
The reports have steeply dropped on Down Detector as well.
That incident was resolved in about two hours.
