This should hopefully drive home the idea of why HN shouldn't be cheering on Cloudflare's slow takeover of the internet.
Out of interest, what competitors are available? Clodufare protects against DDOS? Does it do other stuff?
Had a hard time trusting Cloudflare since they blocked 8chan due to political activism.
Shouldn't have happened in the first place. Should have had something that worked on their own website to indicate the service is down, not needing to come to a somewhat obscure tech forum to find out the details.
Maybe you should try first to actually go into their status page[1]. It is showing a global service disruption since 06:43 UTC; about 20 minutes since you wrote this [1] https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
Yes, not worldwide but a lot of places. Problem with our backbone. We know what. Rollbacks etc. happening. Bring it back up in chunks. Should be back up everywhere.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Enterprise support has been useless as is the status page. Got more info here
The status page shows about as much information as the post here.
Their phone line kept cutting us off and then the people there were not too helpful.

They're talking about getting accurate information from an employee posting on HN rather than on the status page, rather than the outage itself.
Ah, well in that case they already have that so no need to complain: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
Prior to that, it was some time (in the "all my sites are wrecked" timescale) before the status page had any indication of an outage.

turns out having a central failure point for the entire web was a bad idea
We should really rethink that constant reliance on single point of failure.
