"Some workspaces might be experiencing issues with messages sending and loading."

(emphasis mine) Is that marketing-speak to lessen the loss of trust?

I think it was actually true- I am signed in to two workspaces -- one paid plan and one free -- and only the latter has been unavailable so far.

For me it was actually the opposite. I was thinking that only paid workspaces were impacted, which would be mildly funny

I know nothing about Slack's infrastructure, but in practice Slack issues affect different workspaces differently. I always imagined that a workspace resides in just one of many "clusters" (at the very least, maybe paid/enterprise vs free are separate?). Just speculation though.

You could also have italicized the "messages sending and loading" I think :)

It's only down in the US

I’m in Sweden and it was down for me. My workspace is almost exclusively used in Sweden.

(Exception being 3 guys in the UK and one guy in the US, who is not an admin or owner)
