I'm extremely proud of Frances for whistleblowing. (She is a college friend of mine.) I'm hopeful this will accelerate the debate around social network centralization.

What is outage?
#
Loqi
outage also known as down as in the opposite of "up" in the context of the indieweb, and refers to an interruption to a service or server, when it is not responding as it should, which could mean its DNS is not resolving, or the server is not responding, or it is responding with a particular error such as a 502 Bad Gateway https://indieweb.org/outage

Hmmm, looks like the IRC-Matrix bridge is also having issues. The messages appear about half an hour late. Coincidence? ;)
#
capjamesg[d]
[tantek] I made some contributions. I am greatly honored!

Matrix(.org) might be overloaded
#
npd[m]
let's call it eventual consistency and say it's actually a good thing in a distributed system (hello from the matrix bridge, on an account on mozilla•org)

[tantek]
npd[m]++ yay!

Not only are the public facing apps down, but Facebook's internal tooling and communications are reportedly down as well

Reports of FB employee badges not working https://twitter.com/sheeraf/status/1445099150316503057
#
@sheeraf
Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.
