Slack Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BokhariSpace Syed Hussain Haider Bokhari 🛰️ (@BokhariSpace) reported

    @SlackHQ why are you down?

  • notamynguyen 𝔰𝔞𝔡𝔤𝔞𝔩𝔪𝔦𝔪𝔦 (@notamynguyen) reported

    @SlackHQ I can’t seem to access any form of slack due to server issues. Help!

  • dnsmichi Michael Friedrich, left shifting SLOs ⛷ (@dnsmichi) reported

    @ProchazkaFilip 8.8.8.8 and other public resolvers invalidate their zones cache faster than the zone TTL. The problem is a broken @SlackHQ dns zone in caching resolvers with a TTL of several hours to go. If you pick a faster recursive resolver, DNS works again.

  • emdagon Emilio González (@emdagon) reported

    @SlackHQ #slack #slackdown it's a DNS issue. Setting 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare) as DNS server fixes it.

  • proactivepaul Paul Brannigan (@proactivepaul) reported

    outage with @SlackHQ right now?

  • StevenIrby Steven Irby (@StevenIrby) reported

    Not sure about you all, but @SlackHQ has been down for me for the past two hours.

  • alalihs Hussain AlAli (@alalihs) reported

    @saratheazorean @SlackHQ Down in Saudi Arabia

  • AlduinWF Alduin (@AlduinWF) reported

    Nise. @SlackHQ is down, also their website and their status website. Finally some quiet minutes. (Gotta love the irony that @SlackStatus keeps linking to the status page which is down too)

  • DMJreports Daniel M. Jimenez (@DMJreports) reported

    @WaveConnects I pay @WaveConnects, not @SlackHQ for Internet service. I don't care who does what, but "not our problem" is in no way an adequate response.

  • nlbasila Nicholas Basila (@nlbasila) reported

    @thomaslg @SlackHQ @dj11rocks I hate that people always blame things on DNS - but this seems like a DNS issue.

  • bradodonnell Brad O'Donnell (@bradodonnell) reported

    Wow @SlackHQ you've been down for half a day now. Do you have any idea how much work I've gotten done because no one can pester me? Who do you think are, unilaterally deciding to sharply increase my productivity?

  • johnlkinsella John Kinsella (@johnlkinsella) reported

    "This issue was caused by our own change and not related to any third-party DNS software and services." Goddamn - transparency and owning issues! Thanks @SlackHQ!

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @strayologist @SlackHQ Slack has a major outage. It’ll be some time before it’s fixed for sure from what is publicly seen.

  • georgiahslater Georgia Slater (@georgiahslater) reported

    @SlackHQ I've been having issues all afternoon and can't get onto my slack on desktop or my phone. Will this be resolved soon?

  • butcallmealex Alexander Sloan (@butcallmealex) reported

    Name a major service that goes down more often than @SlackHQ

  • MDurec21 Mike Durec (@MDurec21) reported

    Someone is out here on a Thursday without a cape taking @SlackHQ down and that is what I call a public service

  • DarkainMX Vincent Milum Jr (@DarkainMX) reported

    @SlackHQ @LaurennnBianca "You can stay updated here on Twitter" Other than replying to random people, you've yet to actually make any statements about the outage on twitter. Not sure how we're supposed to stay updated..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • StaffingWjs WJS Staffing (@StaffingWjs) reported

    @SlackHQ I’m in a pickle here. Website and App are both down. Needing to get in touch with my work group ASAP .

  • MalloryJGreene Mallory Greene (@MalloryJGreene) reported

    So like is anyone going to fix @SlackHQ or is work as I know it over?

  • q0rban James Sansbury (@q0rban) reported

    @SlackHQ Thanks! If it's helpful, it seems like a DNS issue.

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @strayologist @hapapower @SlackHQ And slack now have posted on status that it is a dns issue, which was obvious to the wider internet community hours ago.

  • xavetherain xave🌧 (@xavetherain) reported

    @SlackHQ Oh sorry! I tweeted before I got a chance to read that others had issues as well and that you're working on it! I just panicked😱

  • EerieCa Erica Atencion (@EerieCa) reported

    Can @SlackHQ give me a note for my manager to excuse me from my absence today? Feel like I’m alone in outage.

  • beatsbybuns ✧・゚topadamoanin topadamoanin topadamoanin✧・゚ (@beatsbybuns) reported

    @SlackHQ @LaurennnBianca I can only access Slack through mobile and none of my messages or settings screen will load on desktop app... all slack pages also lead me to a blocked/failed to connect status page. Others don't seem to have this problem :(

  • DarkainMX Vincent Milum Jr (@DarkainMX) reported

    Its a tad bit concerning that @SlackHQ is willing to reply to people to let them know there is an outage, but wont make an actual post on their main timeline, especially for those of us that it *IS* down for, we cannot access their status page online either.

  • yoni_ze_asmera Nebsi Hussle (@yoni_ze_asmera) reported

    Slack is down 🥴 what do I do? @SlackHQ I have messages I need to ignore

  • matt_burry Matt Burry (@matt_burry) reported

    @SlackHQ @spoike Opposite worked for me and joining a VPN fixed the issues. Also, have maintained Slack access through iOS on the same network the whole time. Weird.

  • akrambakkour Akram Bakkour (@akrambakkour) reported

    What? @SlackHQ is down? What am I supposed to do!!? email people!!??

  • saratheazorean Sara Almeida (@saratheazorean) reported

    Is @SlackHQ down or just me? :O

  • sushil_pathiyar Screen | Study | Buy | Hold (@sushil_pathiyar) reported

    The @SlackHQ is down.
