You do bring up a good point here. It could be a DNS problem causing this issue.

I use OpenDNS and I have a problem, Houston...

I already do that, but fb keeps me in touch with people I can't see in person.

There are these things called phones, SMS messaging Or FaceTime, there’s also snail-mail.

Not for me. I'm going through a tough time mentally and not being able to talk to people isn't helping 🙁

Chat with people here, lots of friendly (and no doubt some unfriendly) faces.

Am I the only one who read that as “Outrages across Facebook” and immediately thought people were actually COMPLAINING that the big three were going to get split up? 😂

Instagram and WhatsApp work fine for me here in Germany.

Same here...

Then you and your friends should switch to Telegram or something more secure then the apps offered by Facebook. How about iMessage if you are on an Apple device. All much better than anything of offer by FB.

What, people can't communicate and thats somehow good for humanity?

There are lots of ways to communicate without using a platform (FB, et al) that is trying to extract every bit of personal data it can find and sell you down the river. Don't you care that your platform of choice as no respect for the people that use it? How about a phone call, sms, email, discord, etc. Just sayin', and I'm not trying to minimize you personal need for connects, really. I hope you feel better soon.

Non sequitur hot take: Social media is the asbestos of the 21st century.

Facebook is copying off of Apple and going offline before some big announcement to build excitement. Which isn’t easy to do if your FB, lol.

They're working overtime to remove some of the trackers.
