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

x.com showing cloudflare origin error

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

The brand damage is coming from inside the house.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Not everything is a conspiracy.
