Facebook went down and Twitter took the piss – the 18 funniest reactions
For several hours, Facebook lost much of its functionality, including the facility for writing “U ok hun?” on a needy tweet about an ex. Of course, users couldn’t post statuses about it on Facebook – or its sister platform, Instagram – so they took to Twitter, where the natives were already having a pop. These were our favourites from the many #FacebookDown tweets.

I like to think there’s a Facebook user trying Twitter for the 1st time & tweeting something like
“Lot of stuff happened today but I don’t want to talk about it”
& then getting 26 replies of
“Fuck off you needy cunt”#Facebookdown— joe heenan (@joeheenan) March 13, 2019

Nobody remembers how to reach loved ones or eat food without posting updates and the global economy has collapsed.
