After the Pandemic, outage of FB, WhatsApp, and Instagram was observed by many of us. I am curious about what happened last night, what did you do or how did you feel about it ?

I didn't know until I happened to read about it on HackerNews.

Nothing in my life changed whatsoever.

It's better to just ask people about their experience and not to lead them with the question, not to exaggerate and assume they got disconnected from the world, not to call a website outage a global phenomenon. Otherwise it comes across as manipulative - it's like you're telling people what their experience was and only pretending that you're asking a question.

I felt some discomfort. It may be time to buy a new pillow.

Sure, It makes sense. I will restate it

Interesting. Is it because you use some other social media ?

I don't use any of the large social media sites. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram etc.

I think they all need to die. I don't feel my life is any worse off because of not being on these platforms.

I felt a bit restless but it wasn’t really a big thing for me.
