Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all go down in major outage

[Return of the Freaker]

T-Mobile's down? I use Mint, which uses T-Mobile towers and it's still up for me.

I just noticed it says AT&T is down and I have full service

Discord is fine.

 

[brookslazor]

Where else can I comment ""

discord, which is hopefully next on the chopping block

We would be better off if we just got rid of the Web entirely. Start over (or don't).

Web 2.0 and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Niggers, Kikes and faggots have been. They just pozzed the net like they poz everything.

Hey @Null, now might be a good time to batten down the registration hatches.

How the hell does that work? Who in their right mind uses the same system for cards as everything else? How would the janitorial staff get in if the power failed?

I'm part of a "Technology Committee" for my company to try and stop shit like this. I spent months researching to stop shit like this from happening but it was decided that redundant networks and servers was too expensive for an $80 million company. 6 months ago, no one could get into the corporate office because all the access control software was on the single network server in the building which blew it's PSU overnight.

So this outage has been going for about 9 hours now, so any bets on if this can last 24 hours?

I would love it to be a 24 hour outage. Knowing facebook though the website will be up by the end of the day. I hope it stays gone for longer though, as that would make me so fucking happy.

The possibility of widespread internet shenanigans just adds to my desire of living my cottagecore dreams and moving to the country to homestead. I miss ths decentralized mid 2000s internet.

I only use Facebook for messenger. But I have the phone number of literally anyone that matters to me (not exactly a large number) so it's nbd. I'll just see how it is in a day, or a week.

Imagine Twitter and Reddit go down and for a brief 5 minutes, KF becomes the most popular forum on the entire Internet.

Josh would come. Until the forum would die.

 

[Chatspiracy Theorist]

Very very VERY likely. Most people re-use emails and passwords, and a LOT of websites use Facebook logins to authenticate their own servi...

OH SHIT A LOT OF SITES USE FACEBOOK TO AUTHENTICATE ACCOUNTS. Which they can't do now. So they're dead in the water too.

Yup, Spotify, tidal, most mobile games

[Stoneface]

So that's why I can't login into my shitty mobile game!

Well, better off without it.

Unironically hope this does cause a sort of return to tradition. Social media monopolies like facebook ruin everything great about the internet. Not calling for a complete abolishment social media, just wish everything was a little bit more decentralised.

Absolutely agree. I miss the internet of twenty years ago. I miss blogs, and stupid niche-interest messageboards, and random in-joke Flash animations that used to circulate through webrings, and all the fun, interesting stuff people used to generate before the advent of the Almighty Algorithm.

 

[Doinker Marmalade]

I'd like to extend a salute to the hackers who are keeping 'too large to fail' big tech in check.

I especially hope this will help me finally convince my immediate family to ditch WhatsApp and move to Telegram.

 

[Vince McMahon]

Motherfucker, Spotify says "offline".

 

[IKOL]

Forget about Facebook, Discord is down and twitter is experiencing some serious outages.

bitch please, I'm using Discord and one works like usual.

Funny, I can't log in... what gives? Twitter's running like crap because their servers are overloaded probably.

 

[Shovel Mech Pilot]

It was a configuration error on Facebook's part. AT&T, TMobile, BOA, etc etc are not down. I think people might have some problem with their own connection and jump to the conclusion that it's somehow related. Its not.

 

[Vince McMahon]

Also, my mobile Chrome says "No internet connection" yet I still post.

Shiiiii

 

[Hippopatumus]

I'm glad it's down
