Facebook Outage Right Now

[MineralMan]

FB is down. Not loading. I'm seeing a screen that pulses but doesn't load.

Outage reporting websites are also sayin it's down.

Meta is short of Deta, apparently.

[Sector 001]

1. Yep, it's down all over the world

[PatSeg]

6. Oh no, what will the world do without Facebook?

[CrispyQ]

7. My house might get cleaned.

My bad. I have a book, so scratch that!

[PatSeg]

21. Ha, ha!

Same here. Cleaning is on the bottom of my list of things to do!

[SheilaAnn]

33. I have intensive bug treatment for my apt. next Thurs. with much to do in prepping for that, yet, here I am

[NameAlreadyTaken]

8. Think for themselves finally.

[Ms. Toad]

10. Unfortunately, today is one of the rare days I actually need it

I was supposed to meet someone at an as yet unspecified time. We were planning to set a time via Messenger.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. I think you can access messenger through its

Own app.

[Ms. Toad]

24. Thanks, but that's down too. As well as most other Meta platforms

I was actually trying to do that when I discovered the outage. I was logged out (which never happens), and it wouldn't let me log back in. So, as an alternative, I went to facebook to access messenger via facebook on my computer.

It appears that facebook is back, but messenger (what I really needed) is still out.

[PatSeg]

23. Mine is back up now

Hopefully you were able to make contact.

11. Guess I'll Get Some Work Done Today

& Read more on DU

25. Social media is a real time-sucker

It is amazing how fast an hour can go by when you are just scrolling through meaningless crap.

I wish there was a good alternative to the platform. When it started out, it was a relatively positive experience. Now it is full of AI slop and scams from primarily 3rd world countries.

27. Happens to me all the time on DU!

[PatSeg]

35. Same here

Except at least on DU, there is actual substance and I learn so much.

[marble falls]

40. DU is an important element of my life. But it is seductive about stealing time!

[PatSeg]

42. Yes

It tends to make you feel like it is educational, which of course it often is. What I like best is interacting with intelligent, well-informed people. There is a wealth of experience and knowledge to draw upon.

And best of all, I meet really compassionate and caring people here.

[marble falls]

43. And how big it is without having to allow morons in.

[PatSeg]

44. Ah yes, that is a good point

They/we have managed to keep the nuttiness and troll activities under control. So many online groups haven't been able to do that.

[CrispyQ]

28. I have to search out most of my friends' feeds. Only a handful show up regularly.

Kind of misses the whole point.

[PatSeg]

36. Exactly!

I don't even have that many active Facebook friends anymore. When I don't see posts from them for a long time, I rather assume they don't visit Facebook anymore. What the f*ck kind of algorithm are they using anyway?

I would just give it up, but that is where I interact with some friends and family. Sadly, that is also where I often find out that someone has passed away.

[Croney]

2. Yes, I got that sudden fear that I'd screwed up my settings

and would never again be able to stalk my nutty relatives. Just as well probably.

[Junipercity]

13. What kind of person would use Facebook

To stalk their nutty relatives ?!?

I mean, besides me 😆

[marble falls]

29. I ignore them, but I haven't blocked any. Every once in a while I scan to prove to myself that I should keep ...

... ignoring them. My brother, especially. He was a hardcore socialist who got lucky with the California real estate market boom bust cycles and made almost a million on the house he got for a song and dance in San Diego. Now he hates children and has no problem letting EVERYBODY know how ignorant we all are. He was lucky he had an ex-wife who bought the house and quit claimed it to get away from him.

His latest wife, however, is just a nice person who's fun to talk to.

[PatSeg]

37. It is interesting

how dramatically some people change, especially when they come into funny*. Even more dramatic when that person is a close family member.


*Edit - should have said "come into money". I have no idea where "funny" came from.

[marble falls]

39. He had some really crazy ideas, like landlords should only rent for the life of the mortgage and after that, rent is ...

... is free. Then he became a landlord, and moved ILLEGALLY to Italy. Took about four years after he was caught to leave because he bought his apartment outside of the law, which he was forced "to sell" at significant loss.

Fortunately I've been able to keep him on the level of amusement just short of irritation.

[PatSeg]

41. Okay, that is rather bizarre

"I've been able to keep him on the level of amusement just short of irritation."

Ha, ha! I love that!

[PatSeg]

26. Well in fairness,

I think it is a good idea to keep track of the nutty relatives and friends. All of us probably have our share.

[PatSeg]

3. I'm having the same experience

But I couldn't find any notification at the outage reporting sites yet. Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just me.

Edit to add: Okay, now it is showing up.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Just at the time of the Space-X IPO??

I wonder if SEC and exchanges monitor the various social media for trading collusion? I mean there's a lot to keep an eye on. Signal, FB, Discord, Reddit, What's App ......

[WiVoter]

9. Bingo

[unblock]

34. I checked and my messenger is out . Most of my fb stuff is old or ads anyway. I don't understand most of it.

[MineralMan]

15. It''s partially back for me now.

I can reach my profile page, but not my feed.

Also, Marketplace shows not items in my area. something's definitely not right.

On the upside, I can click Reels and watch inane videos as much as I wish.

[MineralMan]

16. Back Up Apparently.

Widely reported outage, though.

Interesting.

[FalloutShelter]

18. Instagram too.

[Jbraybarten]

20. if only it would stay down.

[MineralMan]

22. Pretend it's down. Don't use it.

Simple.

Some of us have uses for Facebook.

[Jbraybarten]

45. I get that. That wasn't my point.

[ananda]

31. It's back up now.

!!!

[marble falls]

32. I bet the crisis investors on the commodities market used it to manupulate another increase inoil prices.

[maxsolomon]

38. In some ways it's a relief

A short mental break from non-stop Trump posts and ED ads.
