Maybe we can chat with coworkers here. Is there a Carl around?
I have tried to sell my organisation on a shared Google Chat doc for 90s style realtime ICQ chat in times like these, but there has been little uptake.
Oh wait, how would you share the link...
I find it amazing that we can be about an hour and a half into a service being completely unusable(ie. Slack telling me it 'cannot connect'), yet it's still marked as an 'incident' instead of an 'outage' in their own status page
It's marked as an outage now.

and yet they're still proudly proclaiming: "Uptime for the current quarter: 100%"

I lost the login for our shared AWS account. Mind sending it to me here?

I wouldn't, since my personal theory is that the outage is due to AWS and GCP autoscale capacity exhaustion. We'll find out soon enough! EDIT: And down goes Notion, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25634159
>AWS and GCP autoscale capacity What does this mean? What do cloud providers do when customers scale down their services? Do the providers literally power down servers? Do they sell the capacity to new customers?
Funny how status.slack.com has reported Incidents and Outages for a while now, but still the "Uptime for the current quarter" is reported at 100% on the bottom right of the status table.
Just wanted to come here and say, hey! How is everyone doing? How was your Holiday break?
Send help.

I don't know if they power down some servers if usage stays low for a very long time.
These events seem to be happening almost on a monthly basis now. IRC was never this unreliable and at least with netsplits it was obvious what had happened because you'd see the clients disconnect. IME messages just fail to send with Slack, then you can retry but they're not properly idempotent and you end up sending the messages twice. It's really poor.
EFnet was always splitting every few hours. I don't really miss IRC compared to modern chat systems.
