So down right now...I wonder why they still use https://www.githubstatus.com/ that reports everything is alright when it's not!

Pretty much every company has been shown to have fake status pages at this point.

Status pages are updated by humans and the humans need to (1) realize there's a problem and (2) understand the magnitude of the problem and (3) put that on the status page.

It's not fake, it's just a human process. And automating this would be error prone just the same.

I wouldn't necessarily call them fake, but the issue often has to be big enough for most companies to admit to it. AWS often has smaller outages that they will never acknowledge.
