Is it just me or HN also feels kinda laggy?
Hacker News also got so much slower, is it the load from people hoarding here after not being able to reach FB?
This is taking a longer time than expected for a company like Facebook - must be serious where a rollback isn't possible or trivial.
I wonder if everyone refreshing the sites/apps trying to get it to load is contributing to the problem
It's so important to diversify, such as building a website.

Of all the big tech companies Facebook is the only one where it can completely disappear overnight and my life would be completely unaffected (or possibly improved by not having to explain to people I don't use facebook, please email or text me your invitations rather than use messenger). If Google, Amazon, Netflix, Apple disappeared the story would be completely different.
Facebook is an unparalleled titan in the realm of advertising and WhatsApp is basically a utility-level communication system for a big chunk of the globe. Instagram is a key cultural driver of the Western world. You many not feel any direct firsthand consequences, but the overall impact would transform the world around you.
For the better.
Let's hope it's permanent.
