Why are you so frustrated? It clearly had issues, how would faster acknowledgment would make your day better? With limited resources I rather engineers to just fix the problem instead of spending time trying to give timely status updates.
Apps often don't work for me. Spotify often needs restarting before it realizes it does have Internet, Antennapod keeps asking if I want to make an exception and use mobile data for a download (I'm on WiFi), etc.
An outage confirmation is nice to have before I debug things on my end or ask other people to check things, so I can understand the frustration to an extent (even if it seems overblown).
But it doesn't need to be a tweet for me. These people need sleep and/or could be spending their time on fixing the problem like you say, so just get a status page right? Everybody happy. (Just not one of those political ones like Amazon and co have, showing greens until someone hits the outage button manually.)
