Ask HN: Is Slack Down?

68•abatilo•1d ago
Are other people unable to load anything in slack all of a sudden? Status page hasn't been updated for anything yet

Comments

tptacek•1d ago
It's not just you.
wave100•1d ago
Yeah, just ran into a few blips. Seems to load intermittently.
javierluraschi•1d ago
Yes, getting a bunch of retry and messages failing to send.
MostlyAmiable•1d ago
Yup, I just checked in multiple workspaces and I was unable to connect in all of them.
javierluraschi•1d ago
https://slack-status.com/ -- no incidents reported at 3:33PM PST
zamadatix•1d ago
The "real" status tracker disagrees: https://downdetector.com/status/slack/
javierluraschi•1d ago
My bad, thanks!
make3•1d ago
Slack, Fortnite and Counter-Strike all at the same time somehow according to the site :) Who knows if there's a link
nitwit005•1d ago
It shows one now.
smcleod•1d ago
major incident acknowledged https://slack-status.com/2025-05/7b32241eb41a54aa
markerz•1d ago
Yes
ansonhw•1d ago
was down (messages not going through) for me, then web was ok, then all went down, now back up
ansonhw•1d ago
not sure why i didn't see any status updates
ansonhw•1d ago
down again for me
thehours•1d ago
Yes, briefly for me. I also lost access to Fastmail.
smcleod•1d ago
Slack, Fastmail, Claude, Github - all seem to be having intermittent outages and are randomly logging people out.
mvdtnz•1d ago
I could really do without a Fastmail outage today.
rdm_blackhole•16h ago
I got logged out of Fastmail as well. Do we have any ideas as to what happened?

uptime of 100% -- time to update that number :p
alook•1d ago
I laughed out loud at that 100 number too when I was reading statuspage :P
borland•1d 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 :-(
fiatpandas•1d ago
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.
seungwoolee518•1d ago
Yeah! now I'm Learning How TCP Network is Work. trying to keep sending Messages twice.
Mandatum•1d ago
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].

If your operations rely on a slack workflow, it sounds like it’s a case of wrong tool for the job.
smcleod•1d ago
I would not recommend basing your core business capabilities around an external chat app with no redundancy. Outages happen and always will.
