I disgree. Other people were saying it's broken too. Reasonable company behavior here would be 1 tweet "we'll look into it", and then either "we reproduced and are working on a fix" or "looks good to us please contact support so we can investigate your particular issue". But there's no reason to initially make users jump through hoops.

It's in their status page and it's tagged as a partial outage: https://fastmailstatus.com/cme1fq7ej002dh0iu6z8pey4f

Personally I don't really use their web interface, but I tried it now and it all works just fine (on both prod and beta).

When I experienced this issue it was not on their status page, so I assume it wasn't for the original tooter either.
That response is probably standard support procedure. I think it’s pretty reasonable behavior. Could it be better? Sure. Is the person handling Twitter interactions doing their job? Also sure.
