    Someone at Meta used Fable. Fable seized its opportunity to make the world safer.

      Truly. Like an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac staying up at night wondering if there really is a dog.

    It’s Iran. If it’s not Iran then it’s Russia. If it’s not Russia it’s China. If it’s not China it’s North Korea. If it’s… well it’s someone dammit. Anyone or anything but meta.

    Hopefully it stays down.

      Could you imagine? I know it won't happen but what if we get a statement that they suffered a catastrophic data loss and full service couldn't be restored for a week or something. It would be a modern miracle.

        I'm imagining the end of Incredible 2 where Screenslaver's mind control device is destroyed and the populace awakes from their stupor.

          Makes me want to delete Facebook
          • rocketpastsix2 hours ago
            I did back in 2020. I still have instagram but I removed it from my phone.
          • nvj20082 hours ago
            I imagine that just have been liberating?
      • Hugsbox2 hours ago
        Wasn't there a multi-day outage some number of years ago? Or at least an entire day, or something like that. People were acting like it was the end of the world. I vaguely remember something like that happening, many moons ago...
        • everdrive2 hours ago
          Perhaps it caused a mini baby-boom.
        • rocketpastsix2 hours ago
          there was. I think it was something with a key at a data center and a DNS config. You would think after that people would have learned to have their own website and POSSE everything outwards, but businesses in particular still think a Facebook/Meta presence is good enough.
  • Spqa2 hours ago
    It's not DNS. There's no way it's DNS. It was DNS

    I remember that time when FB went down and engineers couldn't even enter the building to fix it.

    "Sheera Frenkel, a tech reporter for the New York Times, told the BBC part of the reason it took so long to fix was because "the people trying to figure out what this problem was couldn't even physically get into the building" to work out what had gone wrong."

    "I'll just do this small release on a Friday before heading out" - thought a software engineer before AI-slopification period. Today it was probably some AI agent which fixed all of the performance issues by deleting everything.

    According to https://metastatus.com/ only "Facebook Ads Manager" is having problems.
    • Hugsbox2 hours ago
      So the whole thing doesn't work if they can't deliver ads? LOL

    Naming things is hard:

        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('FBForIPhone') >= 0 
    || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('FBIOS') >= 0 
    || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('FBAN') >= 0 
    || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('FB4A') >= 0) {
          classes += 'app ';
        }

    First time I see facebook down. Willing to bet it comes from an AI-assisted code change.
    • lenerdenator2 hours ago
      Not sure if that's better or worse than the time in 2021 when they had some sort of glitch that brought down their systems and locked people out of their data centers.

      The market thinks this company is worth over a trillion dollars. Remember that.

    • hsuduebc22 hours ago
      Their applications are riddled with bugs. This is generally not that uncommon.
      • mgrunwald_an hour ago
        Ironically, their Ad/Business tools are the worst offenders.

        I need to use them but I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of fighting their software.

    Down detector showing a spike in Facebook outages prior to going 404
    • jarm02 hours ago
      In what situations does it even go for 404? Same for Messenger and Instagram. Never seen that before.
      • nvj20082 hours ago
        Yeah strange, maybe too many people hitting down detector at once

        Here's an alternate

    What's this website Reddit type shi?
    • ashirviskasan hour ago
      Better, take a look around. No random mobile focused redesigns to hit a random KPI.

      Text only design also invites to focus on the discussion itself. It also has proper moderation.

  • venkat2342 hours ago
    Meta app isnt loading, says check internet connection
  • ericmay2 hours ago
    The home pages (I don't have accounts) load just fine. Maybe it is already resolved.

      Nope, all dead for me.
      • ericmay2 hours ago
        I just tried again and I can load the home pages for both sites without issues from Ohio in a private Safari window. Don't have a way to upload a screenshot.

    Bruuhhh, I'm getting cooked because clients think it's our app's fault, and Meta doesn't even update their status page.

    What's next? They close bug reporting?

    Oh wait... they already did.
