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?

I'd be looking at your browser extensions or malware (if you use the Discord app).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there a status page for HN?

EDIT: Yes: https://twitter.com/HNStatus HN is so reliable that’s it’s almost never needed one. I’m extremely curious how HN survived this; almost positive they used cloudflare at one point. I think the official status page is @hnstatus on Twitter, or something like that.

They did use Cloudflare, but also haven’t for some time.

It really defies the original vision of the internet to have so many services depend on a single company. Almost every news site I was reading dropped off at once. I thought for a second that I lost internet in my own house.

Same here. Rebooted the router and modem thinking it was me, but my phone was still on wifi then realized it was probably my cloudflare DNS.

This! I got all sorts of alerts from pingdom and my laptop refused to get online. Pure Panic!

FYI, PagerDuty is not loading! Time to go back to the drawing board, for a lot of us, to re-assess points of failure. Edit: many websites are failing to DNS resolve but the services they provide continue to function fine behind the curtain.

This is likely your computer's DNS resolver (if you're using 1.1.1.1 you're down. I'd switch to 8.8.8.8 temporarily. We've had pagerduty alerts coming in since the start (a whole bunch of DNS errors from pingdom) and when I click on the slack link, pagerduty works for me

My iPhone actually popped up a message saying that my wifi didn't appear to have internet, which was strange and obviously false as I was actively using the internet on it and the laptop next to it, but now it makes sense that it must have been pinging something backed by cloudflare!
