I was trying to fix my router the last 15 minutes :)

Yeah I was waiting for it to fix then tried cell phone and realized that was down too. I assumed it was an issue regional / backbone routing or something. Especially cause status pages which I wouldn't expect to be hosted on AWS (because of the need for status pages to stay up when AWS goes down) seemed to also be down. Didn't realize it could be Cloudflare...

I am probably the only one who cares but even https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is down

I personally find sites like https://outage.report or https://downdetector.com which tally up the number, regions and history of people saying it isn't working for them more conclusive.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure you didn't misspell discord?

I've never even heard of the site before. Nor have I searched for "attorney" any time recently.

We operate that site and are using Cloudflare to prevent DDOS attacks. Probably some sort of hash collision...

We were down (downforeveryoneorjustme.com) completely, but back up now (as of a few minutes ago). Our domain wasn't even resolving; we use Cloudflare for frontend and DNS. We had a surge of people checking if Discord was down on our site, then I noticed everything went down shortly after. Discord is still the top check right now. I can't ever remember hitting these kind of traffic numbers before.

Interesting data you get in the face of adversity, providing your host resolves!
