Is Slack down?

Status page also fails to load.

For me their status page: https://status.slack.com/ and slack itself is unavailable
Yes, including their status page.
So although it's the same domain, slack.com, the records still resolve which seems to rule out a DNS related issue. DNS is served by AWS Route53 in all cases and only by Route53 (which might or might not be a great idea considering what happened to Dyn late last year).

Slack.com and the API are hosted by EC2, status.slack.com points to Rackspace.

I wonder what happened to take both down.

Damn you said that too.
Yes, It was down this morning but it should be up now.
Yes.

I switched to Microsoft Teams.

for me, yes
