YAY! Facebook down worldwide!

[HAB911]

I wonder...........

[jimfields33]

1. That didn't last long. Lol

I just got on mine.

[ColinC]

4. I can't get to mine at all

Hopefully I never will

[HAB911]

7. I know what you mean

I keep posting anti-fb stuff, hoping they will kill me

[HAB911]

5. downdetector still says all down, instagram too

[NurseJackie]

33. www.isitdownrightnow.com is down too. Coincidence?

2. Oh man, and my meme game was STRONG today

[MuseRider]

3. Not surprised.

I checked mine a while ago to talk to a friend, we both have had a bad diagnosis and are comparing our treatments and keeping each other calm and smiling. I guess I will just have to send a text or hey....I might even give her a call!

My FB is so lovely and clean, all RW crap is gone. I will miss it and a lot of people if it does not return(it will) but until then the quiet is nice!

[HAB911]

6. oh, a voice call, now those were the days!

yeah, mine is clean too. It will be back.

[John Ludi]

8. Seems to

always happen when I actually have things going on on there.

I wonder if I'm doing it with my mind? Did the Moderna vax give me 5G superpowers?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

15. Are the people you need to talk to also vaxxed?

If so, you should be able to reach them telepathically over great distances. Just picture their face and what you mean to say to them. It totally works, we're all a hive mind now

[John Ludi]

18. I usually have to put my feet in a bucket of water first...

but I have one handy.

[FalloutShelter]

9. Don't do Facebook, but my instagram connection is down.

[alphafemale]

17. FB and Instagram are the same thing. nt

[Demsrule86]

30. not the same thing.

[alphafemale]

34. Owned by Zuck

Different face of the same beast

[NurseJackie]

10. I hope it comes back online soon. I enjoy it very much.

[HAB911]

11. It will, unless

it is torpedoed by hackers and held for ransom, now that would be something

[NurseJackie]

13. That would definitely be something, all right.

I hope they have backups.

[frogmarch]

32. I do too.

[LiberalArkie]

12. Yep. I am dreading a school bus accident. Flying kids all over the place with only 25

14. Down here. I actually find much of FB useful as a reporter for reaching sources and

getting comments from the public on news issues of importance.

I don't want to see it destroyed, but do think they need to do a lot better about blocking misinformation or at least labeling it as such.

I also enjoy conversing with our readers, hearing their views, and often learning of breaking news stories in our community from FB friends and followers such as storm damage, fires etc.

It's also helpful for keeping in touch with friends and family who live far away.

The crazies will just find a new and worse place to congregate if FB goes away.

[HAB911]

19. Many of my old RWNJ acquaintances left last year for

some supposed replacement they found

[blm]

23. ✔️

[CurtEastPoint]

27. Ditto. I can't do my nonprofit animal welfare work w/o FB. Just block all that shit and ignore

whatever else is wretched.

[Demsrule86]

31. that is how I feel.

[LeftInTX]

47. I thought most reporters perferred twitter for breaking news

I do follow Justin Lum out of Phoenix because he has done a great job in-depth on the Lori Vallow case.
But he has done more in-depth, which is easier to follow on FB.
I'm sure he posts on twitter too..

[alphafemale]

16. I just noticed that.

[alphafemale]

20. Maybe they're having a temper tantrum and running away.

I'll just go away and never come back!

See how you like THAT!

[HAB911]

21. FACEBOOK STOCK: $323.26 -19.75 (-5.76%)

[budkin]

22. Hopefully it stays that way

[CentralMass]

24. My access seems to be up. On a side note on occasion I have been

prompted on of I want to see more content of this type or (no block this type of content) I forget the exact wording. Do any time I got some rabid right wing post I would alert on it and answer that I do not want want to see similar content. As a result I really don't see much if any questionable content. If I do I am not shy about responding and alerting/blocking and of unfriending.

[MuseRider]

45. It IS that easy.

Really. It keeps my account right where I want it.

[LiberalArkie]

25. DNS down

[herding cats]

43. They thread linked there now seems to lean to a bad BGP config change

Link to tweet

Which, if true, considering the scale is going to be a massive pain in the rear to fix. Someone with the knowledge has to go there and manually plug into the routers and bring them back up in a coordinated way which shares the load so as not to create a DDOS crash.

What a crappy way to start your week out.

[LeftInTX]

48. Someone texted me about the BGP thing. I don't even know what BGP is..

Why would FB do this on a Monday morning at noon?

Why wouldn't they do this in the middle of the night?

[LiberalArkie]

49. Well whenever the operation is 24/365 and world wide, there really isn't a good time.

[herding cats]

50. It's not really my thing, but it's a routing protocol.

If you're interested you can read up on the mess here: https://archive.is/TNrFv

The original poster had to delete their account. Speculation is he got in trouble for telling and was Zuck'ed.

[LeftInTX]

51. Ouch..I read on Ars Technica that he was a FB employee...

[herding cats]

52. His review won't be kind.

But, they have so much more on their plate right now he'll skirt for a bit.

Check this out. 😂

Link to tweet

The employee's badges wouldn't let them access the buildings to fix the system because the system was down! 🤣😂

[LeftInTX]

53. That's crazy

[MineralMan]

28. So it seems. I hadn't checked it since early this morning.

Maybe Zuckerface is sending everyone a message: "See what I can do if I want?"

I doubt it, though. It'll be back up in a bit.

[lindysalsagal]

42. I call it Bookface.

[MineralMan]

44. Facey McBookface. I like it.

[Dukkha]

29. FB and IG still down for me

FB this morning was actually a very good thing though, because I learned there that physicist professor Brian Cox is coming to my town next year for a lecture. So I'm excited about that he's my favorite science advocate after Carl Sagan.

[ancianita]

35. THANKS!

Zuckerberg's got a game plan afoot. This isn't just some hack.

[bamagal62]

36. Like I posted on another post on this..

My internet has been down all morning. I can’t connect to my server. All my lights on my modem are green and seem to be working. I’ve been on LTE for the past 3 hours.

[PortTack]

37. If fb died it would be the best thing to happen in this country. They are no better than fux snooz

[madamesilverspurs]

38. Our newspaper's comments function

runs with facebook. Can't say that I'm missing the hair-on-fire remarks in this red neighborhood in a blue state.

That said, there are a couple of folks who are only reachable via facebook messenger, and we were trying to set a meetup for this week, so that's a bit frustrating.

Facebook’s very, very bad day: Services go down as stock plunges in wake of whistleblower revelations

Shares head for largest decline in nearly a year as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp crash

...Adding to all of that was a widespread outage of Facebook services, including Instagram and WhatsApp, that started just before noon Eastern time. Even the status dashboard Facebook uses to communicate its availability to developers was not working Monday.

While Facebook did not go into further detail on the cause of the outage, experts said on Twitter that it appeared to be a problem with the company’s domain-name system.

40. Oh noes! How will I do my anti-vax "research"?

[lindysalsagal]

41. FB:"Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."

[liberal_mama]

46. A lot of hate memes not being spread right now n/t
