Do more rely on Cloudflare? Because this felt like it was more than half the internet, certainly more than half the biggest sites.
I think so, Fastly seems to have a few huge enterprise clients while Cloudflare seems more balanced (and larger)

That sounds antithetical to the purpose of emojis.
Vendors don’t even agree on whether the :gun: is a revolver or an automatic or space ray guns or even water guns, btw it’s an 1911 in original DoCoMo emojis 1: https://blog.emojipedia.org/content/images/2018/04/microsoft...
This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0].

Is their anything these big sites could do in this situation, or must they choose between running and maintaining all of their own infra or relying on a single CDN?
Quite a few Fastly customers have more than vanilla requirements though, and may have a lot of business logic performed within the CDN itself. That Fastly is "just Varnish" and you can perform powerful traffic manipulation is one of it's main selling points.

Now imagine how many sites would go down if it was CF
Is this a call for competition? I regard Cloudflare as state-of-the-art in terms of security and ease-of-use. I certainly hope their knowledge replicates across other organizations. As of now they're still building highly impactful tools that are easy to use and that noone else quite provides. I don't really expect another organization to match them given the strength of their current leadership. I think they've buil…

Only discovered we should not forget,due to the good graces of google project zero.
A certain those of skepticism towards any technical offer out there would be advised.

Oddly their homepage rendering an error was a more accurate description of the problem than "investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN"
Stuff is down across the web, but the most it says is “degraded performance” and in my area it’s all green even though the sites are still down.
What a joke!

Over one issue that highlights they have an abundance of top level customers? Interesting strategy when it's already at a low.
One issue that should have been mitigated at least by Fastly; worse if the client has to do it. They proudly stated this from their own website to their customers: > "Fastly’s network has built-in redundancies and automatic failover routing to ensure optimal performance and uptime." If that isn't one huge lie, I don't know what is.
Yeah so it's been mentioned in the comments already, but to everyone in Fastly right now: I feel for you. Something like this must be insanely stressful, and not just during the outage. There will be (should be) a massive post-mortem. People will be losing sleep over this for days, weeks, months. :( Edit: There seems to be a major empathy outage in this thread. Disgusted but not surprised, unfortunately.

Call me old fashioned but the latest trend of showing "empathy" for a serious incident, then proceeding to dance around the aftermath of it, whilst people give themselves a pat on back in a retro/post-mortem, isn't the way to do it. People need to be blamed, and responsibility for actions taken (without covering asses)
This. When people talk about "HugOps", "empathy" and all that when a worldwide incident affecting a huge amount of time critical customers (e.g. trading, hft, cargo, food delivery, etc.) is happening for an hour, it has catastrophic consequences.
I hope the engineers also understand the other side and why we are paying huge sums of cash for their service.

Same reason why Gmail uses their own emojis rather than the system ones — (as said above) branding. When you send a tweet, Twitter wants it to look identical across all devices. The classic native UI vs cross-platform UI debate in a nutshell.
