Ask HN: Major Tinder Server Error

[sbntn]

After months of using Tinder I can no longer log in and receive this message every time:

"Server error: There are issues connecting to Tinder. Please try again later."

Apparently this is now affecting thousands of users and Tinder customer service has no idea how to resolve the issue. I've tried absolutely everything, it's definitely a problem at either Tinder or Facebook.

Hopefully someone on HN works there and can enlighten us? What's going on?

Bubble burst?

It's not a capacity issue, once this happens to you your account is locked out.
