I like how FB decided to send "ramenporn" as their spokesperson.
I'm worried about that person. I doubt Facebook will look kindly on breaking incident news being shared on reddit.
Reddit r/Sysadmin user that claims to be on the "Recovery Team" for this ongoing issue: > As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is likely a symptom of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with Facebook peering routers has gone down, very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC).

Reading the thread, I'm surprised at the number of nearly identical "How much do we have to pay to keep it down? xD" posts I'm seeing, often from throwaway accounts. Some accounts with multiple near-identical posts within the same minute. Could this be a coordinated smear in HN comments?
