It's fine for most people who are just trying to share some photos with friends if a social network is down for a day (or a week!). But if you're serious about running a business or a mission, a cause or campaign, you don't build on rented land.

Facebook being down has had a dramatic negative impact on my productivity, because there is comedy gold here on Twitter and in private chats that I just don't want to miss out on.

Today is a good day to remind you of a website first strategy for your content. If your business is only on a FB or IG site, today is probably a bad day for you. #indieweb #onlineautonomy

Hasn't anyone at Facebook watched Battlestar Galactica?

Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.

You seem surprised…

PSA: As of today, Australia has 5 time zones once again. Apologies in advance to our overseas friends trying to make sense of this temporal anarchy.

Pour one out for every person whose job is it to explain what BGP is and how it works today.

Hear me out - what if we just leave Facebook dead and just like, null route them globally while they’re locked out of their offices and can’t see us?

@robertoblake bro not gonna lie I'm so happy you inspired me to create my own website. Instagram is down and it made me instantly think about what you been mentioning all these years about relying on platforms that we don't own. Much gratitude my brother, seriously 💪🏽

Facebook and Instagram seem to be down. Has anyone thought about just leaving it that way to see what happens?

Reminder for your friends/fam: many rely on Facebook for communication and FB, IG, and WhatsApp down may make folks susceptible to phishing attacks such as "Your FB has been deleted, click here to restore". They may be more likely to believe this bc Facebook isn't working, etc.
