Some users could still access the Facebook News Feed during the outage, but many of those still had problems posting and sharing. Facebook's Platform Status page was reporting healthy operations for the first few hours of the outage. However, Facebook's developers site (also in the facebook.com domain) also went down and wasn't accessible for a period after 12 p.m. ET.
The page began to acknowledge "Degraded Performance" shortly after 1 p.m. ET.
A smaller number of users also experienced technical difficulties on Instagram. The problem wasn't as widespread as the Facebook outage, but Outage Report's numbers spiked briefly for IG, too.
Naturally, the internet turned to Twitter to vent its collective frustration at Facebook.
