Not relevant to the primary election in any way, but this has been more than annoying to me already.

We have a small livestock operation, and won an online auction late last night for a pig about four hours away. Facebook was the only listed means of contacting the person, and we were planning on driving to pick it up this morning.

Now I get to re-arrange my day today to deal with that, and will probably have to take a PTO day from work to drive there later in the week.

Real businesses are in fact impacted by Facebook being down - including those not based around Facebook and that you might never expect.

Hi, wanted to try on an old thread first, to avoid disrupting a current one.

I really enjoyed reading a few of your comments, and would like to get in touch.

If you're open, drop a mode of contact in your bio/here?

Did they imply anything as ridiculous as needing facebook to vote? The implication is merely that everyone would otherwise have been talking about voting and the results, ie, simply higher than normal traffic. (I'm not sure it would be that much but that was the reasonable interpretation of the comment.)

I agree with the first part but the second is taking it too far. Plenty of people use Facebook messenger for communication about semi-important things. Not seeing how that would affect the primaries but it is not jsut for vacation pictures.
