Facebook and Instagram are down - I can't reach my podcast community - you need a website

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Facebook and Instagram are down, again - I can't reach my community - you need a website Are you getting tired of social media platforms dropping the ball, you can't sign-in to your Facebook, or Instagram - to all those podcast gurus that tell you to build your community on a social platform - one question - how are you feeling now?! Facebook and Instagram are down yet again causing content creators, communities and interaction with a content creator's audience to grind to a halt - why are we building our entire world on any given social platform? Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are coming back online following an outage lasting about two hours. The three Meta-owned platforms stopped working for many users starting around 10AM ET. Some users experienced issues logging in to their Meta Quest headsets, too. Facebook logged users out of their accounts, while Instagram users couldn’t refresh their feeds, and Threads displayed a message saying, “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again.” Reports on Downdetector rapidly spiked for all three platforms, while network tracker NetBlocks noted the issue’s global impact. WhatsApp appeared to be unaffected and kept working. Meta acknowledged the issue on its status page with a message timestamped 10:17AM ET, reading, “We are aware of an issue impacting Facebook Login. Our engineering teams are actively looking to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.” As of 12:07PM ET, the status page said Meta is “recovering from an earlier outage impacting Facebook Login, and services are in the process of being restored.” https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/5/24091207/meta-outage-facebook-instagram-threads-down-signed-out Get your own domain site and build a world not dependant on if a social media platform rises or falls - they owe you nothing as a user - build your content and community somewhere that you own the keys to!
