Yes, it is Super Tuesday. Yes, @Facebook logged me out. Yes, I get an error trying to log back in. Based on posts on other platforms, it seems I'm not the only one 🤷🏾‍♀️ #FacebookIsDown #AllOfMetaIsDown #Facebook #Threads #Messenger #WhatsApp More? YouTube for me is also down. Coincidence?

the best part of it is that when you try to use the pw you've used for forever, it tells you it's the wrong one... not that there is a system outage ... this means that you think it's "you" not them.... typical relationship abuse! :)

As users of these tools in 2024, do you think we could have a more graceful experience? Like, just tell us the site is down and don't let us try to login, or pretend to go through the password reset process only to throw a vague error. Do better.
