Seeing Shimza’s post, Cassper jumped on in and made it known that he is not a fan of the platform, thinks the old school BBM was way better lol. Cass showing his age!

Cassper posted:

“Ene the way I never liked that shit. I thought BBM was the sh*t.”

Seeing Cassper’s response, peeps took to the comment section to reminisce on their days using BBM and to defend the much more advanced platform WhatsApp. Life was definitely a lot quieter and shade-free before social media.

@McNificen does not think Zuckerberg would appreciate Cass’ post lol:

Mark Zuckerberg loses a whopping $7 billion as a result of social media outage

Facebook tycoon Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was stressing while the rest of the world had some peace and quiet during the several hours that Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were down, reported Briefly News.

The outage smacked Zuckerberg so hard to it saw him falling from his place as the fifth richest person in the world, reported The Citizen. Zuckerberg's personal wealth fell by nearly $7 billion in just a few hours.

Ironically, Facebook took to Twitter to announce that it was aware of the problem and was working to resolve it. People all over the world were in utter panic as their favourite platforms were not operational for much longer than they would have liked.

“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing Facebook app. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any inconvenience.”
