Facebook is reported to be down worldwide.

I say temper tantrum, like a spoiled brat threatening to run away.

It seemed to really start with a ton of posts that were blocked for no apparent reason, probably half of the memes were blocked in my feed, including those by mainstream news services. It is either a denial of service attack or FB's AI committed suicide.

This is going to require some people to actually get a real life.. what to do, what to do.. many of em won't survive..

It required me to come to agnostics.com and post.

@Lorajay oh hell ya... because if this sites goes down, then it's all over but the cryin.

This could actually encourage people to find something constructive to do with their time.
Perhaps pick up a real book.

Now it's at least 4 to 5 hours of outage. Apparently it's something their backup systems can't cope with. Could this be a really bad hack job? Did they finally get on Uncle Vladimir's last nerve? No worries. I'm going for a bike ride. I bet this will make the evening news.

It's been mentioned on MSNBC a few times. I listen to that on Internet radio while working.

@BufftonBeotch I stay pretty much isolated during the day. My only news from the outside world comes from checking into FB and Agnostic now and then. I figure if WW3 starts while I'm working, somebody will let me know.

This is not about FB being slow to load but it's bad behavior.

FB has been slowing down and ALMOST stopping at peak times in the past 10 days or so. At 4:30 to 5 in the afternoons, some features quit working. I'd say they haven't kept their infrastructure up with their growth in users.

The world would be a better place if it went down permanently.

It keeps telling me I'm offline but I'm not offline here.

Me too!

It’s not down in the U.K….I’ve just checked and it’s working normally.

Mine looks normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection doesn’t seem to work right. Have you tried posting something?

@skado I posted something about an hour ago and it’s had a couple of replies.

@Marionville
On my computer I get nothing. On my phone I get stuff that was posted hours ago, but nothing new coming in.

@skado I’ve checked again…there seem to be some pictures which are blank, but it’s not down universally, I’ve just responded to a message and it seemed to operate normally.

@Marionville
I noticed the blank pictures here too. I tried to look at my “friends” list, and it shows me about the first dozen or so, then stops.

@skado definitely not working 100%. Somethings seem to, others don’t.

My desktop has been showing me as offline, or a notice that they're working on the problem. My phone app keeps reverting to the same few posts that I saw pre-dawn this morning, with the same problems @Skado described. It's been that way for a few hours now.

@Lauren I am having issues with other apps too. Seems the problem is on the Internet, not Facebook related.

@Barnie2years It's possible there are Internet problems in other geographic areas, but my Internet is good. The only problems I'm having here are with Facebook and it's entities: Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger.

@Lauren saw on the news it was a Facebook and subsidiaries internationally that were affected.

@Barnie2years it seems to be ok again I think. It was on the news here earlier too.

@Marionville said they are supposed to have everything back up.
