"Could not connect to the server. Could not load certificate. Please contact your Grid administrator."

[Vanity Fair]

This evening, after heartily enjoying discussing Facebook's epic meltdown on Twitter, Reddit, and Clubhouse, I tried to sign into Second Life using Firestorm, only to receive the following error message, no matter what avatar/alt I use or what location I try: "Could not connect to the server. Could not load certificate. Please contact your Grid administrator."

Anybody know what would cause this? Is it related to the Great Facebook Outage at all, or just a coincidence? Thanks in advance for any help or advice! I do know I was able to log in without problem this morning...

I knew it...Second Life runs on Facebook servers!!! (just kidding, van you imagine how awful that would be??)

Then again, SL now runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), right?? Perhaps the strange error message is a problem there...

Apparently it's a gridwide issue. I'm getting this message on the Grid status page:
