Hello, How was your day?
Mine was busy. I didn't have much time for social media today. But as a normal part of my routine, just after finishing my dinner, I went to my Instagram a/c as is my routine on days when I'm not too active. I like browsing through some stores, and a few posts and that's my way of staying up to date with the world.
Now, today, my Instagram was down. It stumped me, to be honest. I thought for a second, is it my account? But then, it turns out. No, it's not my account, but all meta-services are crashed. What?! Is this a thing? It that something that should happen when such a large scale of population depends on Facebook and Instagram?
We use Facebook to access various accounts and Instagram honestly is my source for the latest news, entertainment and keeping up with my friends.
So, a service like that crashing feels crippling. What to do? Do what hundreds of thousands of people did. Check out X. Get updated about Instagram status via X and honestly tweeting with friends is back for however long it's going to last. Or you could go to Snapchat. Which another service where a lot my friends are active, especially today.
