    @strayologist @hapapower @SlackHQ And slack now have posted on status that it is a dns issue, which was obvious to the wider internet community hours ago.

  • MalloryJGreene
    Mallory Greene (@MalloryJGreene) reported

    So like is anyone going to fix @SlackHQ or is work as I know it over?

  • DMJreports
    Daniel M. Jimenez (@DMJreports) reported

    @WaveConnects I pay @WaveConnects, not @SlackHQ for Internet service. I don't care who does what, but "not our problem" is in no way an adequate response.

  • AlduinWF
    Alduin (@AlduinWF) reported

    Nise. @SlackHQ is down, also their website and their status website. Finally some quiet minutes. (Gotta love the irony that @SlackStatus keeps linking to the status page which is down too)

  • nlbasila
    Nicholas Basila (@nlbasila) reported

    @thomaslg @SlackHQ @dj11rocks I hate that people always blame things on DNS - but this seems like a DNS issue.

  • StaffingWjs

    @SlackHQ I’m in a pickle here. Website and App are both down. Needing to get in touch with my work group ASAP .

  • butcallmealex

    Name a major service that goes down more often than @SlackHQ

  • xavetherain
    xave🌧 (@xavetherain) reported

    @SlackHQ Oh sorry! I tweeted before I got a chance to read that others had issues as well and that you're working on it! I just panicked😱

  • dnsmichi
    Michael Friedrich, left shifting SLOs ⛷ (@dnsmichi) reported

    @ProchazkaFilip 8.8.8.8 and other public resolvers invalidate their zones cache faster than the zone TTL. The problem is a broken @SlackHQ dns zone in caching resolvers with a TTL of several hours to go. If you pick a faster recursive resolver, DNS works again.

    @SlackHQ I can’t seem to access any form of slack due to server issues. Help!

  • BokhariSpace

    @SlackHQ why are you down?

  • Design__Pattern
    James Singleton (@Design__Pattern) reported

    Looks like @SlackHQ's mobile app is having some issues... It says I have 1 notification, I don't... I can't load any of the channels or mark things as read...

    Georgia Slater (@georgiahslater) reported

    @SlackHQ I've been having issues all afternoon and can't get onto my slack on desktop or my phone. Will this be resolved soon?

    Vincent Milum Jr (@DarkainMX) reported

    @SlackHQ @LaurennnBianca "You can stay updated here on Twitter" Other than replying to random people, you've yet to actually make any statements about the outage on twitter. Not sure how we're supposed to stay updated..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • MDurec21
    Mike Durec (@MDurec21) reported

    Someone is out here on a Thursday without a cape taking @SlackHQ down and that is what I call a public service

  • VModifiedMind
    Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @strayologist @SlackHQ Slack has a major outage. It’ll be some time before it’s fixed for sure from what is publicly seen.

  • johnlkinsella
    John Kinsella (@johnlkinsella) reported

    "This issue was caused by our own change and not related to any third-party DNS software and services." Goddamn - transparency and owning issues! Thanks @SlackHQ!

  • EerieCa
    Erica Atencion (@EerieCa) reported

    Can @SlackHQ give me a note for my manager to excuse me from my absence today? Feel like I’m alone in outage.

  • q0rban
    James Sansbury (@q0rban) reported

    @SlackHQ Thanks! If it's helpful, it seems like a DNS issue.

  • proactivepaul

    Not sure about you all, but @SlackHQ has been down for me for the past two hours.

  • matt_burry
    Matt Burry (@matt_burry) reported

    @SlackHQ @spoike Opposite worked for me and joining a VPN fixed the issues. Also, have maintained Slack access through iOS on the same network the whole time. Weird.

    ✧･ﾟtopadamoanin topadamoanin topadamoanin✧･ﾟ (@beatsbybuns) reported

    @SlackHQ @LaurennnBianca I can only access Slack through mobile and none of my messages or settings screen will load on desktop app... all slack pages also lead me to a blocked/failed to connect status page. Others don't seem to have this problem :(

  • bradodonnell
    Brad O'Donnell (@bradodonnell) reported

    Wow @SlackHQ you've been down for half a day now. Do you have any idea how much work I've gotten done because no one can pester me? Who do you think are, unilaterally deciding to sharply increase my productivity?
