    Second, their customer service is complete ****. How is it that they don’t have the option to communicate via email? Your only options are “live” chat, Facebook messenger, and direct calls. @SavageXFenty

  • igrottxuea835 Toby A Hamilton (@igrottxuea835) reported

    @HodlBee I heard that the almost half of the globe has affected a lot users not able to login into #facebook messenger so I would suggest alternates like $SYLO where the chats are secure and completely decentralized.

  • sarahcoldheart Sarah Coldheart (@sarahcoldheart) reported

    @frogsighting ALSO FB MESSENGER WAS DOWN I tried to ask. You did the voice, in-phone or via zoom then import?

  • pinkietwili Bridgette (@pinkietwili) reported

    @HodlBee After incidents like today's facebook messenger server were down issues I think there is really a very big chance for applicatio n like $SYLO to use the secure chat or chat feature.

  • GouldOLF Olga Gould (@GouldOLF) reported

    solar storms can cause ripple effects in our power systems, heating and even destroying electrical infrastructure. That can send electronic communications haywire, and it's happened several times before. This is maybe the course of having Facebook messenger down

  • euphrosene Euphrosene Labon aka Wise El (@euphrosene) reported

    Tbh Facebook Messenger being down is a blessing in disguise as I was getting way too many unwanted 'messages' ie links with no conversation or ones with a couple of words and beggar all else.

  • sworupsth Saurav Thapa Shrestha (He/Him/His) (@sworupsth) reported

    Are you receiving any spam messages in facebook messenger from your friends? Was yesterday's global server down led to all these spamming?

    @smashboxuk I’m aware you’re having delivery issues but apparently my order was shipped on the 27th Nov but Hermes have yet to receive it from you? Getting frustrated with lack of responses via fb messenger and email.

  • snowleopardess Anne Greensmith (@snowleopardess) reported

    @prestigeflowers I have a problem with an order I placed yesterday. Despite emailing you several times this morning I have had no reply; the responses via Facebook messenger have been nonsensical and your phone lines are closed. What an appalling service.

  • CallyDay 🍄 Cally Day (@CallyDay) reported

    @Daisy_intheMill There's a problem with fb messenger tonight.

  • susankitchens Susan A. Kitchens (@susankitchens) reported

    facebook messenger is down. I use it as little as possible; it's not installed on any mobile iOS device, only laptop browser. How much does this outage affect my day? Not at all except for one piddlin' self-congratulatory tweet which does nothing to advance human knowledge.

  • LimpinLiane katato (@LimpinLiane) reported

    @parademonss facebook messenger was down before I couldnt copy activities LMAOOO

  • ethstatus Status (@ethstatus) reported

    Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp are all currently experiencing major outages due to server issues. Gosh, *if only* there was some kind of decentralized alternative that allowed for private communication with, say, a global censorship-resistant P2P network.
