Facebook down-ish?

Once logged in, the facebook page shows nothing. Looks like it's been reported since 10:15ish CT today. https://twitter.com/ReportOutage/status/918132129988513792

I've been observing problems with my profile only loading the page skeleton but none of the content. Every once in a while, some of the content will go through, but if I try to click through to a subpage (e.g. my photos), I just get the skeleton.

One group I'm in gives me an error page when I try to load it on desktop, but it works on mobile (I thought I'd been banned at first). Other groups seem to be working fine, though. And the Android app is working.

Edit: Well, I thought they were. I'm getting blank pages in other groups now.

Edit over an hour later: Everything seems to be working again.

The Facebook dev status page doesn't show any errors when I'm logged out, but fails to load when I'm logged in.

Still down here too in Paris. I wonder how many millions in revenue they're losing per minute, not to mention businesses that rely on it too. I hope they recover soon.

Can't be that much per second, if it were millions they would be beyond fabulously wealthy in just few days.

About $52,587 per minute: $27,640,000,000/365/24/60 = $52,587

I don't think it's geographic. I can't access facebook, but the guy sitting at the desk next to me can...

Same here, my co-workers access it fine but I can't

It works for me on the mobile app but not on desktop.

Edit: posting anything from the mobile app doesn't work either and I only see posts from 1 hour ago and later so I guess it's down on mobile too.

I hope they stay down and go away. Think you're more likely to get your wish.

I get a message that they're down for maintenance. Odd time to be down for that kind of thing.

Instagram appears to have recovered, at least in the Pacific Northwest

Any possible DDOS?
