Same as me, yet the status page still saying OK. HackerNews is starting to become the real status page. It even spans multiple services! I remember I learned about Google and YouTube down also from HN.

For me the status page says "Customers may have trouble loading messages or connecting to Slack"

Yes, noticed slow message sending and then now slack will not open on desktop. On web it shows "Server Error It seems like there’s a problem connecting to our servers, and we’re investigating the issue. Please check our Status page for updates." and on the slack status page it's all green EDIT: interestingly, the help pages are all down for me as well https://slack.com/help/articles/205138367-Troubleshoot-conne...

DownDetector [1] is sometimes a better status page.

it looks like a service provider must be down because there's a lot of other services struggling.. https://downdetector.com/

Does anyone have a fallback solution for such situations? WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Zulip, something else?

Down here too. No updates on Twitter either: https://twitter.com/SlackStatus

https://status.slack.com/ also lying

Updated about three minutes after your comment. Twitter too.

> Customers may have trouble loading channels or connecting to Slack at this time. Our team is investigating and we will follow up with more information as soon as we have it. We apologize for any disruption caused.

The desktop app doesn't even load now due to timeout. I think their entire network went down.
