"only a few hours" for Facebook is literally billions.
Only $13.3 million per hour in revenue [1], but about $45 billion in market cap today [2]. 1. https://fortune.com/2021/10/04/facebook-outage-cost-revenue-... 2. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/FB:NASDAQ
Some features, like adding new posts or uploading photos are having problems. You can likely read your feed now, but updates will be wonky for some hours to come.
And HackerNews seems to be much faster as soon as FB is back up. Not sure if this is just me.

True for me as well. What would explain this? Does hn use some tracking from FB? Not trying to throw shade, but this is a surprising correlation.

Facebook, unlike other big tech companies, has no financial incentive to share postmortems. Others are bound by SLA agreements with business customers.
Well, as someone that has an app that had degraded performance due to their SDK failing to talk to Facebook servers. I FOR ONE would really like an explanation.

During the time Facebook (and related properties) have been unavailable, I can't help but feel a little better about the world. There is so much hate, arguments, misinformation, angry, and harmful messaging on FB platforms. It's nice to know all of that crap is just....gone. At least for a little while.
WhatsApp is still down for me, anyone else?

If past outages are anything to go by there’s no chance of this seeing the light of day.
This one will definitely see the light of day considering how big a deal it is. Shareholders could easily sue over it.
