The world witnessed a shock stoppage in its digital chatter today with WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook turning dark all around the globe due to a wide-scale outage. Communication lines were interrupted and social feeds were frozen, sending millions of users pouring into X (formerly Twitter) – not for updates but also to be creative.
What started off as complaints soon turned into a wave of humor, memes flooding timelines and capturing the irony of a social media-dependent world that had suddenly lost its voice. From nostalgic jabs about using SMS to jokes about how X always comes to the rescue, the meme fest marked the resilience of online communities even in a virtual blackout.
While Meta keeps mum about the cause, one thing is certain: when the world’s biggest platforms stumble, X doesn’t just report; it entertains. And as users wait for normalcy to return, the memes have made the downtime far more bearable.
Here’s how netizens reacted:
