Social Network Service Patterns
Social networks use globally distributed infrastructure with rolling deployments but can face cascading failures.
Social network outages often affect specific features (stories, DMs, upload) while the main feed works. Issues may be regional — try a VPN to confirm. These platforms rarely announce maintenance in advance.
