After I read your comment, I googled. No one official announced anything. Instead an "insider" claims this. Among the claims, is that aliens are working with governements, and provided key tech, such as fiber optics, and silicon chips. Yeah. OK. I can literay, over a century, trace all the key scientific discoveries, how they happened, for transistors, ICs, etc. There was no help. And shining light through glass isn'…
The parent is a troll and posted this thread "Is Hacker News slow for you guys too? I think it's the Apple announcements" just 20 minutes earlier. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36203460

As in, something spoke the words "Server Error" to you when you tried to dial out?
No, actually, the Android phone app put those on the screen. (And yeah, not the more familiar/classic POTS voice message "We're sorry, the number you dialed…") (Quite … uselessly, too. An error in text form when the phone is against my ear is not helpful.)
POTS has "no mobile capabilities" and is strictly "analog signal transmission over copper loops" [0] so I suspect that's the source of confusion in this case.
PSTN is probably the acronym you meant, which refers to "Originally a network of fixed-line analog telephone systems, the PSTN is almost entirely digital in its core network and includes mobile and wireless networks" [1].

HN having server issues when a single post gets 1200 comments in two hours is pretty normal. I don't think any issues with the wider internet are implied
