I had heard people talking about a #Facebook outage. Now I see #Cloudflare’s post about it:

#DNS changes preceded (and later ended) the outage.

Now #real_talk: No matter how much you like Facebook, #Instagram, #Whatsapp, Facebook #Messenger … you need to make sure that you and your contacts have another active channel of communication that can be used in place of each of those. Because your communications and relationships with people you care about are too important to entrust them solely to one corporation.
