The night was dark and full of errors. Last night, the workplace messaging service Slack crashed worldwide, sending its 9 million users to Twitter to lament. CNBC reports the outage lasted from about 7PM EST to 9:13PM. But that left users plenty of time to run wild.
We're sincerely sorry for the service disruption you're seeing at the moment. We're working on it with top priority: https://t.co/hlhV4ZiG7E
