I didn't notice an interruption on the desktop client and it's been logged in for about 7 hours now and slack.com looks fine. Interestingly enough https://status.slack.com is currently down while curling status.slack.com returns a page that says it's moved to https://status.slack.com

I'm getting SSL errors from httpie:

http: error: SSLError: hostname 'status.slack.com' doesn't match either of '2015-06-25.dev.slack.com', 'slack.com', 'slack-files.com', 'slack-redir.com', 'slack-redir.net', 'dev.slack.com', '.dev.slack.com', '.enterprise.dev.slack.com', 'dev.slack-files.com', 'dev.slack-redir.com', 'dev.slack-redir.net'

You mean the http redirect to https is up but the https site is down.

No I meant it returned an HTML page that said "this link as moved" with a link directing you to https://status.slack.com

Umm, yeah that is called a 302 redirect:

curl http://status.slack.com <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>302 Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Found</h1> <p>The document has moved <a href="https://status.slack.com">here</a>.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at status.slack.com Port 80</address> </body></html>

The HTML parts are fallback for if your browser (or curl) in this case doesn't handle a 302
