It does say that there is an incident here: https://status.slack.com/
Reminds me of the printers that would show error messages after a while just to get you to buy a new one. Seems to be part of the culture to cheat people that don't know too much about IT and that is really unfortunate.
Re:Facebook reveals its cryptocurrency Libra on Tuesday June 18, 2019 @10:33AM (#20213453)
12 cents is a lot, since it is static regardless of the transaction size. Small transactions at 12 cents fee are ridiculously expensive. You need low fee + 0-conf for small transactions (e.g. BCH). 12 cents is negligible for large transactions, hence why people call it a store of value. And since bitcoin doesn't scale, transaction costs will skyrocket again to crazy transaction fees of 50-100$ easily if it starts being used.
