  • DerekMoser14 Derek Moser (@DerekMoser14) reported from Brush, Colorado

    @dede77869627 @AnnCoulter They were never down when we used to communicate on that platform. Many people just plain gave up quit deleted all accounts. No one cares about Facebook. Supposedly business folks still use Messenger, but some people send porn as spam and that’s messed up, because no delete FB

  • yegventures Lincoln Ho | Yegventures 🇨🇦🇭🇰🇻🇦 (@yegventures) reported from Edmonton, Alberta

    @madebygoogle I've noticed it at times on regular video recordings, as well as TikTok and FB Messenger. But Instagram is by far the worst of it. (I specifically changed from Sony Xperia to Pixel 3XL due to the Instagram lag issue.)

  • MarkStanmore Mark Stanmore (@MarkStanmore) reported from Southampton, England

    @facebook has something happened to your messenger app. I appear to have a domain error on the iPhone app and unable to access messages on the desktop. Normal feed appears to be working. Updated FB today with your latest version also. #facebooksupport #messenger #fb #facebook

  • NZSpides Paul McKay (@NZSpides) reported from Te Rapa, Waikato

    @DemiseNZ I ignore Facebook now. Turn off notifications for Facebook and messenger. I only have it for when I really need it for something. And that’s only a couple of times a year. I wouldn’t be sad if it shut down.

  • Jchud212 Jude (@Jchud212) reported from Chepstow, Wales

    Snapchat has been down for 3 hours and I’m losing my mind, not enough to use FB messenger but maybe just enough to boot up my kik account

  • TungstenNichols Jerome S Nichols (@TungstenNichols) reported from Ypsilanti Mobile Home Village, Michigan

    Facebook's brand looks cheap. The entire thing. It was clean years ago but it's showing it's age these days. Instagram specifically has major font and image compression problems. Messenger looks like a spammy website. It's all a mess.

  • ELamy4Palestine Eric Lamy (@ELamy4Palestine) reported from Cakung Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta

    For my own peace of mind, I deleted my FB app completely and changed all my websites that use FB login to a regular login process. I still have FB messenger to use to some group chats, but I remain “offline” so I won’t be bothered by others.
