It logged me out and told me that my credentials were incorrect; I thought my credentials had been stolen, so I'm kinda personally glad that it seems to be happening to a lot of other people too. I know that's a bit selfish, but :shrug:

I panicked the same. Even when I tried to recover my password, it said my email address wasn't associated to any account. I thought I lost it forever

Same same. I went through the password reset flow (I was overdue anyways), it never sent anything to my SMS, so I did it again with email, reset the password and went to log in with the new password, "Incorrect password" error. Old password, also incorrect.

Didn't help that I had just posted a lukewarm spicy take on how linguistic prescriptivism is BS.

All the while the website felt like it was unstable, hard to describe, but it felt like it was bouncing around between URLs too much and reloading a lot.

Definitely feels like a botched update on their end.

E: Instagram is misbehaving as well, banner loads but big "Something is wrong" error on the feed.

E: now youtube has "Something went wrong" - WTF. I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank goodness for reddit and X[itter]???

E: interesting, seeing a big spike across multiple platforms on downdetector, including AWS: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ I'm not able to log in right now, but that could be PEBCAK, I have too many saved IDs and I don't want to fail2ban myself

Facebook is throwing up the sign in page, as if your sign in has failed or someone's logged you out. Instagram and Messenger also seem to be affected.

Yes, just checked Instagram and it says “Couldn’t refresh feed” and is generally not loading. Messenger has also logged me out.

Oh dear.

Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads are all down. and its time to contact the CEO of Meta to bring them all back up.

At least Twitter / X is still up, so time to complain about it there.
