Instagram, Facebook and Facebook Messenger are suffering a global outage this morning with users unable to post new messages or see other people’s profiles. Unsurprisingly, social media users flocked to Twitter, which didn’t happen to be down, to share their thoughts on the outage, and the Internet reacted in the only way it knows how – with humour.
Below, the best Twitter reactions to the outage.
