- BitAstronaut 5y agoI'm pretty sure I saw reports that internet speed tests were going down as well from people checking their connections. I can't confirm it but if it's true, it's pretty interesting the chain reaction that occurred.

- hansel_der 5y agoeven fb/ig regulars should be able to find that information quickly so i guess they indeed did not "log off" after that.
- tayo42 5y agotraffic at my job was funny, it was chaos trying to handle it, then facebook came back and you can see it in the charts the drop in requests. it was a pretty quick return to normal. idk im surprised people just like didnt go do other things, like we just have to scroll?
