Slack is down, unless it’s back up already.

Slack has acknowledged an outage Monday evening as “...users are experiencing issues connecting to Slack and are unable to load threads,” with most reports noting problems beginning just after 6:30PM ET.

Some people are still connected, or can load certain threads and rooms, while others fail. According to Slack, “our backend database routing is contributing to error spikes with many Slack features,” affecting a percentage of users globally. There’s no ETA for a repair yet, but it might be a good time to take a break or just call it a day entirely.
