Sending and receiving messages works here, but editing them does not, it throws an error. Statuses such as "calling" also do not seem to be updated any longer.

Edit: Restarting Slack does update the edited messages.

Edit 15:24 CET: Slack is back up.

Same: only normal text seems kinda working

- edits failing or working with big lag;

- "Threads" view slow;

- can't emoji-react;

- can't upload images;

- people also say they can't join new channels.

I fail to understand how a big player like Slack can be impacted this way by a failure in a single AZ in a specific AWS region. But at least the main feature (sending and displaying messages) is still working.

Uploading images doesn't work for me.

New messages seem to be ok for me, but editing old ones and uploading images both seem to be broken right now.

I can't edit messages, nor create channels. Messages are only received with a several minute delay.
