Something is up with Twitter.

It’s not only that it’s hard to follow a conversation between two people on the platform, but rather there’s a weird bug that’s messing up likes, retweets and notifications, something which Twitter is working on resolving.

As reported by a number of Twitter users in the past day, the bug seems to cause likes and retweets to fluctuate wildly, or appear much lower than usual.

Some users suspected Twitter was mass-deleting retweet and like counts.

For other users, they’ve reported issues with notifications, and not seeing tweets mentioning them.

Twitter acknowledged the issue, and a spokesperson told Mashable that it was simply an “internal bug.” 

The company said it was working to resolve the problem, so no, it’s not just you that’s feeling the pinch of unpopularity.
