You should. If the status page is also down, you know it's going to take a while ;-)

Maybe. I've been shocked by some big companies co-hosting their status pages.

In this case - having happened to have noticed this at the exact time it occurred, I observed:

downdetector had it first

twitter had it second

peers were unfortunately unreachable (slack)

HN lagged by a significant margin

that has also been my recent experience. works best for large services like discord and twitter which are recent examples for me.

HN pointed me to the official status page though
