Ask HN: Is Slack Down?

abatilo | 68 points

Whichever Salesforce employee has their bonus tied to this being declared an incident and not an outage; fuck you.

This has affected critical, operational processes which YOUR sales and marketing teams use in Case Studies[0][1][2] and documentation[3][4].

Slack, Fastmail, Claude, Github - all seem to be having intermittent outages and are randomly logging people out.

I'm seeing messages double post for some reason, both ones I send and ones from my coworkers. The 2nd message fails the first time. And the occasional connection error.

fiatpandas | 2 days ago

Yes, slack is intermittently down for me and the rest of my company. It's intermittently losing messages, failing to load new ones, and showing error pages :-(

Yes, briefly for me. I also lost access to Fastmail.

Yup, I just checked in multiple workspaces and I was unable to connect in all of them.
