Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…

Discord attempted to route me to: everydayconsumers.com/displaydirect2?tp1=b49ed5eb-cc44-427d-8d30-b279c92b00bb&kw=attorney&tg1=12570&tg2=216899.marlborotech.com_47.36.66.228&tg3=fbK3As-awso (Visit at your own risk.) Hack?

Sure you didn't misspell discord?

For people who reports this is down, which country are you in? Because all the reported sites works flawless from Norway (Europe) :-)

East Coast USA here. Any cloudflare site is unreachable, and 1.1.1.1 is giving me massive latency and packet loss :)

I wonder if they are all using Cloudflare's free DNS stuff or if they're paying for business accounts?

My stuff is on Netlify (for the next week or so) and the rest is on a VPS bought from a local business who isn't reselling cloud resources. I'm kinda glad I moved all my stuff from cloudflare.

We can't keep going on like this. The vulnerability of centralised internet infrastructure is a huge problem for everyone. Somebody, somewhere, really ought to sort it all out

"All systems operational" What's the point of a status page if it doesn't reflect the real status... It's either the status page goes down with everything else or the status page is wrong. Great. EDIT: Looks like it's accurate now, 20 minutes later.

The point of the status page is so you can point to it for your five nines SLA and go "look? we were only down for one hour". As soon as the money relies on the metric, the metric will reflect the money.

It’s worth mentioning here that 1.1.1.1 is also affected by this outage which initially made me think my internet was gone completely.

Changing back to an alternative (such as 8.8.8.8 from google) restored my access to the areas of the internet not using Cloudflare.
