I don’t know if I’ve been hacked or if Meta is having a fit

was worried I'd been hacked, then relieved it wasn't me specifically, then double-worried that the whole site may have been nuked

Threw me out of my account and made me think I'd been hacked (maybe I still have, I dunno) - but it looks like it's a common experience.

Sites like downforeveryoneorjustme.com are pretty useful in these cases.

thought I was hacked, thankfully it just appears to be down for everyone

Thanks everyone. Hopefully none of us were hacked!

According to reddit, all Meta apps - Facebook, Instagram and Threads are down globally.

Bunch of speculation that it's related to Super Tuesday, but I don't know.

Down for me, too.

I do find that outages (including ILX ones) have been rare opportunities to start to wean myself off of whatever platform I'm checking constantly.

Yeah, that had crossed my mind. “Why am I so dependent on this?”

― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 5 March 2024 16:23 (two years ago)

Except that all of my friends are there.

my mother was panicking for an hour. she never uses web searches so she thought her phone was broken.

musk shouldn't be bragging since he personally caused a multi-day problem by destroying one of Twitter's server farms for no good reason.

two years pass...

Is anyone just plain unable to get into Instagram today?

― Clever Message Board User Name (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 29 July 2026 21:46 (one month ago)

yes
