I've never seen an outage this big. Even the homepage doesn't load. We've had recurrent issues with Actions not running, but this seems a lot bigger. The status page says all is well, though: https://www.githubstatus.com/ . Hilarious.

Status page updates with "degraded availability". lol

Wow, the status page only just now started reporting issues, and it still doesn't seem to communicate the scale of the issue.

People use this page for guidance. I guess now we know how much it can be trusted.

Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.

Reminds me of a repository I once found when searching for Prometheus exporters.

It stated this but with Twitter; it will monitor latest tweets searching for a custom word combo and raise a server alert when found. I found it hilarious. Will post the source once GitHub is back on.
