down detector always looks like this during big cloud service outages. i think partly because people don't actually know what services they're using and report wrong things, and partly because downdetector parses social media posts like "outlook is down but gmail still works" as outlook and gmail both being down.

Downdetector is a survey, not a detector, and suffers from user confusion when a high-profile service is actually down, as users start reporting unrelated things

I work in IT and people are complaining about Atlassian and about AWS but in reality if your organization is using SSO then that would get impacted.

If your org is using Intune or Defender EDR then you probably also are impacted.

Not GitHub!

Teams is working!

Or, rather, it's acting like it usually does.

Downdetector does not measure service availability. It's more of a vibes thing.
