- nickw444 9y agoEven their status page is occasionally coughing up 500's...
- uncoder0 9y agoYep, It's been down since 5:58 PDT according to their status page and Tweets. Status page was throwing 500's in the first 10 minutes of outage but seems to have recovered.
- Florin_Andrei 9y ago> Status page was throwing 500's in the first 10 minutes of outage but seems to have recovered. It's still doing that.

- justhackedme 9y agoIt's in the past..
- jtchang 9y agoIt's funny to imagine how Slack employees communicate when slack itself is down! Hopefully they have an internal instance separate from the public facing one.
- lkrubner 9y agoThey all use ICQ. Deep down in their hearts, they know it is best.

- boltzmannbrain 9y ago1. Have issues w/ Slack 2. Check HN to see if Slack is down, find this post 3. Attempt to slack this post to team 4. Facepalm 5. Remove headphones and shout "Slack is down!"
- nissehulth 9y agoI know, I had to fallback to Facebook for the link post!
- codemac 9y agoQuick, who can switch to matrix.org before it comes back up?
- msie 9y agoI wanted to post a humourous image of the comments here...on Slack. So instead I went to each of my coworkers announcing that I have a humourous image...
- LambdaComplex 9y agoEveryone is free to host their own IRC server using one of countless IRCds and connecting using one of countless clients And since it's an open protocol, you're free to write your own. This is what happens when you decide to go with a closed, proprietary alternative.
