I'm curious about what comes to mind. Whether it is software related or otherwise, what does today's outage evoke for you?
What's the worst case scenario for Facebook?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Therapeutic.
That's what I thought of it. I mean nothing to worry about, there was no doubt a load of effort going to be thrown at it, perhaps as much as the US invests into hurricane relief as they mighty dollar needs saving as much as poor folk on floodplains in that grand old nation I'm confident. But the sort of thing that can hit any service any time, and on a bad day a load of them at once, and one really bad day lots and lots of them for a long time etc. And it's nice for folk to remember, that well, nothing is 24/7 forever ;-).
Besides, most other social media channels were up tod iscuss it (as was this one).
Wait, what happened???😜
Didn't even notice 🤣
productivity must have shot up across the globe though
use alternative social media app
From software perspective, - Oauth failures.
Facebook is a popular Oauth provider and if that is down , lot of customers who use Facebook to login are essentially locked out.
This is good time for developers to think about scenarios when/if major Oauth providers like Google,Facebook, Apple fail and create fallback mechanisms for account recovery.
The best five and a half hours since social media infected the web. Too bad it wasn't permanent and didn't take twitter with it.
Good riddance!

I feel as though the timing on the release of the Pandora papers, and the case with a whistle blower trying to prove that facebook algorithmically prioritizes money over safety may have something to do with it. DNS and such seems like a distraction, but no way I’d be able to know for sure.
“Whistleblowers” which argue for censorship aren’t whistleblowers, they’re agents for the other side.
At no time in history has it been the good guys trying to suppress information. Every time it’s been the bad guys. And yes even the worst of the bad guys sold censorship to the population as something good if not necessary.
It’s like I’ve always said - you can lie about your intentions but you can’t hide your intentions. Someone’s intentions are encoded in their actions.
I've been shouting this from the virtual rooftops all day. This is my Epstein.
Convenient timing. I’m not doubting that there were DNS issues, but they easily could’ve been exaggerated to diminish coverage over the pandora papers, and gives facebook a chance to cover up anything.
