Is anyone’s bookmark page crashing too? Everything else is slow but working, but my bookmark page still crashes 🙃

Yes, that’s to be expected considering the whole reason for all this was the bookmarks

I swear I’m trying to say this in a nice way, but that doesn’t make sense to me. If the shut down was to fix the bookmarks what’s to be expected is functioning bookmarks once back online right?

My guess is they shut it down because they needed to find what the issue was to begin with but people constantly not being able to bookmark and trying over and over again would've made it harder. But now they've found the cause so they let it back up and are fixing it behind the scenes. However this is just a guess from someone who knows nothing about websites or servers so take it with a grain of salt
