Slack is offline • Hacker News Board

Looks like it. When I first loaded HN 2 minutes after this outage started, the story was #2. Then I refreshed after 3 minutes and it wasn't on the front page at all. Used the search tool to find it and then upvoted.

Is this getting flagged off of HN?

Looks like somebody wants to keep this quiet. 65 points in 12 minutes is good enough to be #1.

When the status page is returning a 500 error... not a good sign.

It's a sign that we need to appease the beer gods.

This page seems to not be throwing 500s: https://status.slack.com/2017-10/8b0d4d44ea53726f

Granted, there’s not much constructive discussion that can happen as an outage is happening.
