No fb for over an hour now, literally just realised how much I am on there, hopefully this helps to let go a bit.

@BoredZelda

Well no talking to each other when message services died

Yes, I was pointing out the irony of the luddite-esque comment.

Ahh, the old “it was a joke” line. 🙄

Who cares..

Aquarius1234 · 05/10/2021 13:40

I personally think it's out of control.

Still, credit to them. 6 hours isn't too bad when you've just accidentally borked your global bgp config which in turn has cascaded into DNS and removed you from the world map.

Especially when you can't even access the building Grin

Twice 😂

MyPatronusIsACat · 05/10/2021 15:29

I have noticed that many of the people who were moaning, and crying into their pillow, at instagram, whatsapp, and facebook being down, are the same ones who mocked and derided people who were upset and worried about getting no petrol. With their sanctimonious and smug 'how pathetic that people rely on their cars so much' and I am SOOO glad I ride a bike/walk everywhere' type posts...

Hilarious how these same people were losing their shit at whatsapp, facebook, and Instagram not working for half a day... I think not having any petrol, and not being able to get to WORK, and not being able to get to sick and vulnerable people/relatives/loved ones, is a bit more important than being able to take a photo of your pumpkin spice latte, and show it off to all your fake friends on facebook and instagram. Wink

Wazzzzzzzup · 05/10/2021 15:52

Were they? Who was crying into their pillow?😂 Sob and shake is the only way!

ilovechocolate07 · 05/10/2021 17:40

I realise that I send far too many pictures via whatsapp

Queenbee77 · 05/10/2021 19:35

I do a lit of ' work ' via Wotsapp and when it went sown at 5ish I didnt realise for 30 or so minutes...was still sending msg and they didnt go off until 11pm. But no one was cross with me thankfully.....getting messages at eleven. Can I live without it? Yes but I dont want to. Has made my life easier. 🌹

Queenbee77 · 05/10/2021 19:36

A lot...not a lit

Queenbee77 · 05/10/2021 19:36

Jeez I am tired...time for bed....

FFS
I couldn’t care less
And was absolutely shocked to know this was even in the news…. Who the fucking cares ?
FB, Instagram and whatever else are not essenciais for our lives ?!

Honestly ! Confused

Wazzzzzzzup · 05/10/2021 21:19

I love people who don't care ao much they have to come and tell us all how they don't care and how was even the fact that number of platforms with hundreds of millions of users were out of order in the news.
Don't care at all do ya all 😂

A lot of people use support groups on FB, or run a business on it.

So for some, it is essential.

Even more ironic that they’re posting on a chat forum. I mean…!!

They are for people who only communicate with friends through these channels.

They are for businesses that are ran on fb/Instagram only.
