Using our teams backup chatroom in a competing service. One of these days P2P Matrix will reach GA, then I plan to make a backup for my backups, Starfleet style.

I got dropped into not-dark-mode with a connection issue message in each of my workspaces.

I guess everyone hopping back online over the course of a few hours for the new year is too much to handle!

My slack (desktop + mobile) has been down for the past 30~ mins. Strangely I can still receive messages/alerts on my phone.

How many more outages until all trust is eroded and competing services differentiate themselves on the basis of uptime?

I think HN is hiding these posts. Maybe status threads are discouraged now? But they're much more useful than status.slack.com etc.

HN is where we all go when the Internet (or large portions of it) are down. It's more reliable than all the 'downforeveryoneorjustme' or 'downtime monitor' services.
