    @ewaynebarber Apparently it's my fault....the delay built into the COVID booster I received 10 days ago brought down FB, WhatsApp, Instagram and FB Messenger. Got this from a reliable source online. I kinda feel bad about it but on the other hand, awesome!!

    Is anyone still having trouble with facebook messenger?

  • Nayfield NΑҮFIΕLⅮ (@Nayfield) reported

    @munin It's likely true, just without the detail. A configuration/code change ... caused a withdraw of all BGP announcements, and they couldn't roll back. Their internal communication (FB Messenger for FBers) was down. Keystone kops for hours to get physical access and revert by hand

  • elfriesen E L Friesen (@elfriesen) reported from Amsterdam, Provincie Noord-Holland

    @llmunro It's used widely by businesses large, small, and micro here in the Netherlands. I communicate with most of my friends and family scattered across the world using it, and to a lesser extent FB messenger. The outage made for a very lonely and unproductive few hours.

    Don’t worry if she hasn’t hit you back on fb messenger in 3 weeks big dog. Facebook was down all day and she probably tried to hit you back then. You should go ahead and send another message.
