Almost same thing happened when Signal went down:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25803010 Signal apps DDoS'ed their own server

Second comment was saying there is no point using Signal if they are down during 2 days. Only a few hours for FB yet but curiously nobody is saying the same :)

I'd say there's no point using FB anytime, even without the outage ;)

Well, for FB there are quite a lot of comments suggesting for it to stay down. So Signal actually got off quite easy.
