Twitter had a very prolonged outage around 2020/2021 before the Musk acquisition, and many more localized outages.

I moderated the Twitter subreddit at that time, I'd be happy to dig up outage threads (like this one! https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/msfyvs/is_twitter_..., coverage: https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/twitter-down-outage-12...)

My argument isn't that Twitter had 100% uptime: I consider outages to be on a different axes to general "bugginess" - which is why I stated that Twitter's status page mostly about service availability.

Twitter Spaces was buggy at times, but the core product had much better stability than it has now.
