Twitter OAuth is broken. [https://meta.discourse.org/u/rokejulianlockhart/preferences/account#:~:text=​-,twitter,-Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/u/rokejulianlockhart/preferences/account#:~:text=%E2%80%8B-,twitter,-Connect) gives me `https://meta.discourse.org/auth/failure?message=request_error`, which states

> An error occurred when starting authorization. Please try again.

Is anyone else having issues with this?

(I don’t have a twitter/X, so can’t check myself ☹)

Hello 👋

Yeah something wrong with it. Try to connect Twitter account on [Account setting](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/account) 🔽

Ah. That’s unfortunate. ☹ Thanks for checking. ❤

Let me see if I can get someone to take a look. 👍

Thanks for the report, this should be fixed here now. Looks like our oauth credentials had been invalidated (not clear to me why).
