According to Slack and Down Detector, the communication platform many of us use for work stopped loading for some users around 9:25 est on Tuesday morning. (Full disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Mashable's parent company, ZiffDavis.)

"We’re investigating the issue where Slack is not loading for some users," the platform said. "We’re looking into the cause and will provide more information as soon as it's available."
