    I see lots of people celebrating fb being down and saying they hope it stays down but because my husband is stationed overseas, fb messenger and WhatsApp are the only ways I really communicate with him right now so this is actually sad for me.

  • WittyGooner Felix. (@WittyGooner) reported

    WhatsApp down, what did I try and do? Create a Facebook messenger group chat to discuss WhatsApp being down. Then realised FB is down, so what did I try and do? Create an Instagram group chat to discuss WhatsApp & FB being down. Then I realised they’re all connected. Damn.
