Facebook--is anyone else having issues accessing it right now?

Facebook is down. For now enjoy the Twitter memes for #FacebookDown.

I work in social media. It’s been a frustrating day but the memes I enjoy.

I would, but I don't use Twitter lol --- News article says its the longest outage in the history of FB

Kind of funny this happens 1 day after the 60 minutes facebook whistleblower interview aired.

No Facebook for me either - I’m in the Chicago area

All FB owned apps are down worldwide.

Yes! Definitely the best part of Facebook being down! Like most of the world, that’s the first place I went!

You should! I dont tweet myself but I definitely use it to see what’s trending and enjoy what everyone is saying

Same here. I was in the middle of work. I restarted my laptop. Looked at my router…. Went to Twitter. I was definitely entertained!

Well, we just had a thread last week about leaving main social media sites...there wouldn't be a better time than now to get the "practice" experience before executing the real deletion...

That happens every single time Facebook would go down. The content moderators would not be able to access any reported content either so when Facebook goes down, everything is halted.

I'm not having issues, because I deleted that silly app years ago.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm so happy I'm not still tied to FB.

we have an extended family member in palliative care. It’s FB and messenger that we are using to reach out to other extended family members regarding updates and sending help,
Facebook isn’t always used for silly purposes,
It’s a great tool to keep in touch with others.

no one is “tied” to Facebook. What an odd thing to say.

I agree! I use it for numerous groups, one is my tennis group, we post on there who is playing and when, etc. If we tried to group text all of that, it would be a mess!

My sister calls it "fakebook" and has stopped using it, but I get a lot of info from the site. Some is oversharing about personal problems, but other posts let me know of several friends' deaths including two in the past few days. Most of my extended family lives out of state, and social media is an easy way to share photos of growing grand kids and nieces and nephews.

Can't get it to open on the computer..tried 3 browsers, can't get it to open on phone. Just keep getting the white page thing, even though when I try the 'is this website working' site..it tells me it's working fine??

I'd take that as a win.

You choose who to friend in Facebook. If it’s fake than you very odd friends and family.

I get where the sister is coming from. Facebook's algorhythms have basically removed all my friends from my timeline. If I want to see what friends and family are up to, I actively have to go to their page. I mainly get business pages on my timeline. Lot of ads, which I turn off. And some vague colleagues I hardly interacted with in the last few years. They still show up, but friends I engage with by liking or commenting on their posts get ignored by the algorhythm.

I use it as a diary for myself now. I like the flashback option to see what happened on this day a year ago.
