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.

For some reason I couldn't browse the home page but I could still access my messages (website).

I was considering buying the Quest 3 this morning, this outage is timely. The fact that I can't use my perfectly working headset to play an offline game because facebook is down, makes me wonder if I should go for a different provider. Any recommendations? Excluding apple vision pro since it is too expensive.

I love how no one here is talking about the "coincidental" timing that this is happening on Super Tuesday. Carry on, nothing to see here.

We've seen continuous layoffs for the past year or so, and the stability of everything is wonky now. Yesterday I had trouble with LinkedIn, last week it was Coinbase, a month or so ago Gmail was hanging. I don't think it's because of Super Tuesday.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google logged me out of an account and I had trouble logging back in. downdetector also reports Google having issues and friends also had trouble with both.

FWIW for me Google seems relatively stable, but I tried logging into a lesser used gmail account on a lesser used browser, successfully logged in for like 10 seconds, then got logged out. It's very spooky when supposedly the two companies who probably aren't sharing infrastructure seem to go down at the same time...

Agreed! It is odd…

This will be great for productivity!

I thought the average facebook user was of retirement age.

Not sure about globally, but middle aged, 45 - 65, slightly more women.

I would bet those who are not working in full time jobs are a lot more active though.
