| They are not down [1]. But it does look like a lot of Europe is

| Also, the OP link provides ZERO information on the claim. Mods

| [1] - https://twitter.com/telegram/with_replies
|
| [2] - https://outage.report/telegram
|
| Edited: for formatting and there does seem to be an attack
| growing. I also petition the mods to update the link to something
| more informative.

|
| What else broke down due to Telegram being offline? Are there any
| fallbacks?

| Trying to log in via web gives me this error:
|
| Method: auth.sendCode Result: {"_":"rpc_error","error_code":420,"
| error_message":"FLOOD_WAIT_438"}
|
| Maybe a localized DDoS attack?

| I am scratching my head as to why we are all gathered here. What
| am I missing?
|
| Maybe I am just too used to software outages?

| MattGaiser wrote:
| Usually that at least comes with a status page or a news

| product.

| Hmmmm they're not ALL down. Working just fine for me in India and

| After ~30 minutes of "connecting..." I restarted Telegram (Linux
| app), won't log me in, says "Too many tries, please try again
| later". Hope they'll reset try counters when they are back
| online.
|
| I appreciate Telegram's latest features and understand that stuff
| happens when you change things... hope they'll fix it soon.
