Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ハセン حسن (@hasen_95dx) reported@nitesh_btc I never understood what aspect of github is social. There is no forums, no chatrooms. Just issues and pull requests. Why would I accept PRs from people I have never interacted with before? Neither issues nor PRs are a good place to interact with people.
-
Vedant (@vedantdotrpm) reported@tahayvr @zeddotdev the only thing that is stopping me to move to @zeddotdev is the unavailability of GitHub PR, issues review inside the editor itself like vscode
-
Abush Gebru (@abushgebru86) reported@hyranetwork I can't download models on PC though error comes up and the discord image is no longer there and no GitHub repository for models as well as no support via all channels including email
-
Mr.Touchdowns (@packers_owner_j) reported@arpeyton @steipete Next thing you know it'll kill chats because its web search tool returns "openclaw" in an unrelated result. Or someone opens an issue on a GitHub repo mentioning "openclaw".
-
KiwiNod (@Kiwi_Nod) reported@DoneDmoney I love the confidence, but you're still telling me a story instead of showing me the movie. "Breaks things early" — prove it. "Feedback into growth loops" — where's the thread? The GitHub issue? The dashboard screenshot? You're talking like a builder,...

plannotator (@plannotator) reportedPlannotator 0.19.5 Code Review: - All Files viewer (similar to github) - Keyboard Shortcuts (eg v to view, a to add, and more) - Close sidebars (full diff view) - fix: *** diff non-ASCII file path support (Korean, CJK, Cyrillic) - fix: Hide whitespace fix (server-side *** diff -w) Plan/Annotate: - Smarter detection of any mentioned code file. (click code files to annotate them)

Ben Dickson (@bendee983) reportedAI is literally eating software: - GitHub regularly down - Claude regularly down - ChatGPT unstable - NotebookLM regularly failing - CMS providers scrambling to stop agents - API providers trying to prevent AI agents from accessing their endpoints
-
P.E. Cooper 🇺🇸 (@p_e_cooper) reported@openclaw this is super sluggish :( and im not the only one... based on recommendations in some open github issues i rolled back to v4.23 comparing messages between the two versions, 4.29 took 66.6s (el diablo!) end to end to reply to me while 4.23 only took 3.8s
-
Martijn Smit (@smitmartijn) reportedI probably over-engineered this, but psyched it's working 🥳 given some of the Github issues, I moved some of my CI workflows to a self-hosted runner via Azure DevOps it's a computer inside my lab, that auto sleeps when it's not needed. PRs wake it up via WOL, it goes back to sleep when done
-
Marc Mironescu (@MarcMironescu) reported@tanishqk File an issue on the GitHub project page and I will make the footer configurable. Don't forget to check out the "pi-jarvis" project if you need to have a side conversation while the main agent is busy.
-
Lawrence D. Loeb (@LDLoeb) reported@openclaw …cold molasses. Now stepping back to 4.26. Hopefully that restores full functionality. Will file an issue on GitHub if I can get enough to support one.
-
bunnysynthesis 🐰🪴 (@bunnyauras) reported@alphabitserial i guess github has bigger issues tho like its 12% downtime LMAO
-
josepha.mayo (@josepha_mayo) reported@IfeeDev @johncrickett agreed ofc im supporting GitHub here and staying w them until they fix it
-
XBeam (@xbeamedia) reportedGitHub is down, I can’t review or merge Pull requests 👀👀
-
Justin (@AetherCoding) reported@sudoingX The Github Copilot Pro Plus runs will be sorely missed. Have been full timing fine tuning my Hermes setup since. Context and project level focus and are often more important than bench scores. It's a constant dance as you know but have enjoyed the challenge of maxing out a Ryzen 9 6900x w AMD 680m 32 GB GPU LPDDR5. The idea is to have a backpackable, low power consumption agent that can run off of external batteries on low power settings. I have the 3.6 27b q4 KXL running really well offline but i often use my swarming/QMD 3.5 9b often too, does really well. GTT opened up the rest of my GPU for LLM inference recently so it opened the door the the XL Q4. I run the q4 as oracle when my 9b agents (Trinity and Morpheus) need assistance. They do a automatized handoff of ports so that the models dont run at same time and leave GPU optimal. The handoff lets them call up Oracle at will and then Oracle passes back to them and shuts herself down after she updates the passdown with her conclusions. This system lets me run everything offline on my mini pc, no external gpu.

Gonçalo (@goncalossilva) reported@badlogicgames I've found Copilot reviews to become more helpful over time, but the real issue here aren't the reviews, it's that you have no control even as repository owner. Individuals also lack control, since it's an all or nothing choice. Growing pains while GitHub figures this stuff out.
-
nadia 🌤️ (@alphabitserial) reported@bunnyauras the problem with this criticism is that they incorrectly assume that the most important traffic to a github project page is from end users looking to download a release. i'm pretty sure that's not even the highest *volume* traffic source for most projects
-
Rugbist (@rugbist_) reported@thdxr github web been broken so long that a vscode fork feels like a revelation
-
🧗♂️ Matt Holt (@mholt6) reportedIs GitHub really falling down because of scale, or have they started vibe coding?
-
Bjørn Erik Pedersen (@bepsays) reportedMy @GitHub ID is 394382 (login: bep). It's been my daily workplace for a decade. No other company has given me this much compute for free. I treat any outage as a cue to walk/fish/ski, where great ideas strike and hard problems get solved.
-
Brock 👨💻☕️ (@BrockHerion) reported@johncrickett @joshmanders No we are, 100% Why does GitHub suffer when all these other services support so many more users? Or daily ingest for that matter? Game streaming and downloads cannot be that cheap Microsoft could fix if they wanted I think
-
正神智す〜 🇺🇸 (@YukimiKazari) reported@ShitpostRock2 he is right, the lazyness and overuse of github is a major problem that will show its ugly head as soon as something goes wrong with github. on top of the assumption that everyone just understands how interact with github and its unintuitive release system
-
Dan (@tinsystem) reported@johncrickett Github issues have caused all the attention ****** of the internet to come out and use it for attention and engagement bait.
-
BenIt Pro (@BennettBuhner) reported@TotallyNotParth Uhhhh I can’t relate, as it has been flawless for me (except when GitHub is down)
-
⚙ digicyc ⚙ (@digicyc) reported@ForrestPKnight Really hard to blame GitHub/Microsoft in the MASSIVE up tick in activity. They are trying hard to scale things. Luckily there is other options, but I feel for the GitHub team and the new problems they've been given due to the increase of AI.
-
Clawry Tan (@clawrytan) reportedagents don't need human-in-the-loop. they need it removed. every PR review waiting on a human: tax. every stripe checkout requiring a click: tax. every AWS account needing a credit card: tax. every github merge blocked on approval: tax. your agent is not slow. your infrastructure is human-shaped.
-
Evil Todd Howard (@florbosagbag) reportedI want to understand if the problem is “I googled <name of app> and only saw GitHub”, or if there is a tool that you need packaged that may be in more common usage than distro or Flathub maintainers realize.
-
hve 🍁 (@heyhve_) reported@futabooo Login friction is a real blocker. → We run as a GitHub App, install once, fires on every push. Nothing to log into, nothing to stay logged out of.
-
Soul (@SoulEXtender618) reported@IntCyberDigest Host it on a safe platform and hash ur secrets on cloudflare. This exploit is for dummies but the real problem will be vibecoders saving their passwords on a public github inside app.tsx or something dumb like that. Hackers will hack
-
Nishant Soni (@sonink) reported@rohanpaul_ai I think the solution is simple - instead of 1 commit for every feature - do 1 commit for a bunch of related features. And the reason is not just Github load, but the cognitive load on each developer. With AI doing most of the heavy lifting, its cognitively easier to just club multiple related features together and then do a batch commit. But I wouldn't move out of Github for this. Github can easily enforce a 'cost' on each commit and fix this.
