Special bonus: today is Super Tuesday, which is when a large number of US states have their primary elections.

I've seen this posted everywhere like it's some grand conspiracy. What is the impact of it being Super Tuesday? Are people worried they can't vote without social media?

Actually I can see this morphing into a Russia interference conspiracy.

If the main social media used by liberals goes down, while the one used by Trump (forgot what it's called) stays up, surely that is an advantage for him?

Social Media is very successful in Get Out the Vote campaigns for younger people - who typically vote for one party disproportionately.

The domain reads a lot like "metastasis" which fits quite well with the social media landscape and oodles of terrible "suggested" content on Facebook in general

And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".

I'm just waiting for all my relatives to breathlessly call me saying "I THINK MY FACEBOOK WAS HACKED".

The primaries are pretty well decided, so I suppose the conspiracy would be "trial run".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I thought I got hacked and tried to retrieve my password. Got a weird email with the same code every time from facebookmail.com

I really hate that companies do this. PayPal does it sometimes, too.

It sounds like you are struggling with withdrawal symptoms. I recommend a detox and get your life into order.

Logging everyone out across all platforms and telling them to just try logging back in sounds like an excellent way to DDOS yourself. This should be a fun postmortem.

Yeah, and they've dug themselves a hole with having near permanent login persistence. I can't remember the last time on a computer I use frequently that I've had to log in.
