Were You Affected by the Facebook Outage?

In the News

I didn’t even realise there was an outage! But apparently it was quite severe, and affected a lot of people

I was affected. But fortunately, I don't really bother with Facebook as much as I used to. Although it does come in handy for competitions at times.

Lol that was what I was thinking, as I know there’s a LD group on FB. Must have slowed things down for the day. Phew, at least it’s over 😜

hspexy As long as the same sort of thing doesn't happen to my beloved LD, then I am happy. It's extremely important that I get my daily bit of LD fix. 😀 x

hspexy It would certainly be very depressing to say the least. Might as well take away the whole internet as well. 😀

I never even noticed! I didn't know until I read about it this morning.

The world was normal , worrying about themselves , speaking to people , not judging or being jealous and enjoying life.

All for a few minutes

Unfortunately Twitter was still available, so there was an increased use on there - and it’s only ever negative for these kind of things 😟

Facebook was working fine for me, but instagram packed up and is still not working properly for me this morning

Ah that explains why I had issues with instagram - I’ve not used it in years, but I was looking up a place that only had their details on Instagram to find that I was unable to navigate properly

Yup, we were unable to publish any deals on Facebook for a couple of hours. It was kind of nice in a strange way. Bit like a power cut where it forces you to light some candles, pour some wine and just relax.
