According to https://metastatus.com/ only "Facebook Ads Manager" is having problems.

So the whole thing doesn't work if they can't deliver ads? LOL

rofl something I would absolutely expect from them.

Better, take a look around. No random mobile focused redesigns to hit a random KPI.

Text only design also invites to focus on the discussion itself. It also has proper moderation.

First time I see facebook down. Willing to bet it comes from an AI-assisted code change.

Their applications are riddled with bugs. This is generally not that uncommon.

Ironically, their Ad/Business tools are the worst offenders.

I need to use them but I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of fighting their software.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How about downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com ? Yes, it does exist.

How about https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.... ?

:-) Yeah, this is officially boring now. Still fun though!

Let's hope they didn't accidentally lay off any of the people that would be able to take it back online. That would be sooo terrible.

Hopefully it stays down.

Could you imagine? I know it won't happen but what if we get a statement that they suffered a catastrophic data loss and full service couldn't be restored for a week or something. It would be a modern miracle.

I'm imagining the end of Incredible 2 where Screenslaver's mind control device is destroyed and the populace awakes from their stupor.

AI slopification

I wouldn't credit AI before we know more Maybe our hero is a human

There were no outages before AI, also no bad code and every PR was a work of art.

It's not DNS. There's no way it's DNS. It was DNS

The DNS Song seems appropriate. Even if it's not DNS in this case. https://soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/dns-to-the-tun...

Even when it's not DNS it's probably still DNS (you just haven't found the real issue yet)
