About 2 days ago, I noticed that Facebook added multi-level reply threads for a small percent of posters, but as of this morning it seemed totally broken for me on the latest ios build. Seems unlikely to be related, but I wonder if it's possible they broke the site trying to hotfix it.<p>Regardless of the root cause, I'm feeling for the oncall folks whose Thanksgivings are getting ruined right about now.
There is a major outage they are aware of effecting Facebook Login, Instagram, Messenger and the Marketing API:<p><a href="https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/2287293591515186/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/22872935915151...</a><p><a href="https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/555889181863481/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/555889181863481...</a><p>Edit:
I think there is a bug with the status page, the outage hasn't been going for the 18 hours it is showing me here:<p><a href="https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/</a>
Also curious if FB outages affect global internet traffic? Are there any relative stats? (E.g. if google to go down, it would have an economic cost comparable to a natural disaster)
the scale FB operates on is staggering! Human factor, while still present, is very low. Wonder what could have happened there. They don't usually release postmortems, right? (since the general service they provide to the masses is "free", meaning minimum obligating to reporting. Would be curious to read the postmortem, analysis of what happened.
It must be just a coincidence that PHP 7.4 was released today, and surely FB doesnt rely on PHP version updates to latest, right?<p>Just speculating..<p>Edit: that twitter thread is quite entertaining
