I believe that the above link refers to a previous outage. The duration of the outage doesn't match today's, the technical explanation doesn't align very well, and many of the comments reference earlier dates.
Also, Cloudflare’s take on the outage - https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/ <https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/>
This appears to indeed reference today's event.
