Another status page that sucks. Slack goes down, people start texting me about it, status page is green, HN informs me that Slack is actually down. Next time I build a status page it will simply be a static HTML with green indicators and some random metrics, looks like it is the industry standard. :facepalm:

If you accept that status pages are (partially) under the control of PR teams, it makes more sense that they’re useless and a lie.

https://downdetector.com/status/slack/ Slack is definitely down even though their status page says otherwise. Incentives matter. If there is no penalty for misrepresenting the current state of an outage, you are going to find that company driven status pages are going to be frequently inaccurate.

Their status page is not a report of status, but rather a report of admission.
