Slack, the popular team communication platform, is down, with hundreds of reports of users unable to send or receive messages.
As of Monday evening, outage-tracking website Downdetector had received over 900 outage reports.
The vast majority concerned issues accessing the Slack application. Other users reported problems with server connection and the platform’s website.
The Slack blackout is the latest in a series of outages across popular platforms.
Just last week, Instagram, Facebook and its companion app Messenger experienced a major outage.
Hundreds of outages were reported as of Monday evening after the popular cloud-based team messaging app went offline
The platforms were down for at least two and a half hours on Tuesday, sending hundreds of thousands of users into a panic as they tried and failed to sign into their accounts.
A source at Facebook told DailyMail.com that Meta’s internal systems were not working at the time its service dashboard showed ‘major disruptions’ for many of its services.
Andy Stone, Meta’s communication director, posted a statement on social media, nearly two hours after users reported issues.
‘Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have difficulty accessing some of our services,’ Stone wrote. ‘We resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone who was impacted, and we apologize for any inconvenience.’
He declined to elaborate on the nature of the technical issue.
One day later on March 6, networking platform LinkedIn crashed, displaying an error message to tens of thousands of users as they attempted to log in.
The message first appeared around 9 pm, according to Downdetector.
LinkedIn announced it was ‘back up and running’ around an hour later and apologized for the service interruption.
The following day, scores of Reddit users complained that the site had gone down around 2 pm.
It was the second issue the forum had encountered in a span of hours, as it was loading slowly and experiencing ‘intermittent failures’ at 11 am the same day.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, the network said it was investigating an issue that was causing ‘intermittent issues and slow loads for users.’
The outage impacted users worldwide, including those in Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada, but most reports originated from the United States.
Reddit saw a heightened number of errors since February 22, with at least three issues occurring since then.
This is a breaking story.
More to come.
