Heh. Slack isn't down per se -- on their status page they do say there are only problems with 2 / 10 components. Messaging and Connections.

Messaging and Connections.
- quickthrower2 6y agoThat means down. What the f' else do they do?
- dmitrygr 6y agocurrently status page claims 9/10 services are up (https://imgur.com/a/qQBax40 https://imgur.com/a/qQBax40): - Login/SSO No issues - Connections Something's not quite right View details - Messaging No issues - Link Previews No issues - Posts/Files No issues - Notifications No issues - Calls No issues - Search No issues - Apps/Integrations/APIs No issues - Workspace/Org Administration No issues
- quickthrower2 6y agoCalls no issues is BS. I couldn't make a call during that dark time.
- Jedd 6y agoQuite. Perhaps I should have been less subtle than opening with a 'Heh', and made it clear the claim that only the messaging & connection parts were failing was tongue-in-cheek. This page's title is "Slack is down" but Slack's status page at the time was modestly conceding that "Something's not quite right".
- interestica 6y agoIt's interesting because the sarcasm came through for me and only because you said "they do say" rather than "they say" - a subtle difference that is probably odd to convey to non-English speakers.
- labster 6y agoOh, that is interesting. I understood the sarcasm there as well but it's difficult to say why it is present. I guess because "do" implies a second, unsaid category "do not". I wonder if there's a Language Log entry on this.
- quickthrower2 6y agoSorry! A /r/whoosh moment. Good sarcasm.
- lhorie 6y agoThose being down means I can't use the app at all, so for all intents and purposes, it's down. As Rachelbythebay would say, your nines are not my nines.
- anyfoo 6y agoI don't think the parent commenter was entirely serious.
- lhorie 6y agoSure my comment was also partially a critique of a major outage showing up in their UI as a "9 out 10 things are green"
- Jedd 6y agoHence heh. Page asserted an 'incident' only, not an outage, but for all intents and purposes a failure of the 'messaging' component for a messaging tool is effectively a full, major, total outage as far as your users are concerned.

- monocasa 6y agoSlack in their electron app is 503ing for me.
- rconti 6y agoI can't login on one computer. The computer that's already logged in, I've bounced the app a few times, and it seems to be unable to load content from most channels, messages I've sent aren't showing up, etc.
- beamatronic 6y agoIf it’s a Cogent issue those services might be up, but merely unreachable.
- hinkley 6y agoIt just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.
