Is SMS 2FA broken/degraded for anyone else? (lemmy.stuart.fun)

I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn't get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can't log in to my MVD either. Apparently there's some sort of SMS short+long code outage (according to the twilio status page in North America, which is mildly infuriating when this is already shown to be a pretty sketchy 2FA mechanism, at least theoretically.

Just curious if anybody else has noticed issues or if that's just me. And also, I really hate SMS 2FA.

The new lemmy update automatically disabled 2fa for everyone. The old system didn't require you to enter the generated 2fa code on setup so lots of ppl locked themselves out.
