Slack, the popular team communication platform, is offline, with hundreds of reports of users unable to send or receive messages.
By Monday evening, Downdetector, the outage tracking website, had received more than 900 reports.
The vast majority involved issues accessing the Slack application. Other users reported issues with server connectivity and the desktop website.
The Slack blackout is the latest in a series of outages on popular platforms.
Last week, Instagram, Facebook and the associated app Messenger experienced a major outage.
Hundreds of outages were reported Monday evening after the popular cloud-based team messaging app went offline
The platforms were offline for at least two and a half hours on Tuesday, sending hundreds of thousands of users into panic as they tried and failed to log into their accounts.
A Facebook source told DailyMail.com that Meta’s internal systems were down at the time its service dashboard showed “major disruptions” to many of its services.
Andy Stone, Meta’s communications director, posted a statement on social media nearly two hours after users reported issues.
“Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have difficulty accessing some of our services,” Stone wrote. “We have resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone affected, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
He declined to comment on the nature of the technical problem.
A day later, on March 6, networking platform LinkedIn crashed, causing tens of thousands of users to receive an error message when they tried to log in.
According to Downdetector, the message first appeared around 9 p.m.
LinkedIn announced about an hour later that it was “back up and running” and apologized for the service outage.
The next day, dozens of Reddit users complained that the site had gone offline around 2 p.m.
This was the second issue the forum encountered within hours, as it loaded slowly and experienced ‘intermittent glitches’ at 11am the same day.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the network said it was investigating an issue that was “causing intermittent issues and slow loading times for users.”
The outage affected users around the world, including those in Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada, but most reports came from the United States.
Reddit saw an increased number of errors since February 22, and at least three issues have occurred since then.
This is a breaking story.
More to come.
