Cloudflare is down! 🚨 Major outages are affecting sites like X (Twitter), ChatGPT, and Claude!

A huge part of the internet is offline now.

Wow, 2025 is really the "the entire internet goes down" year.

First AWS, then Azure and now Cloudflare. 😭

@itsfoss I mean. The Fediverse won this one since we are all online. Still, all my Lemmy and Piefed instances are down 🫲🥲🫱 ... and bluesky is offline too.

[Update] Bluesky is back online

[Update] Lemmy.world is back

@itsfoss From the examples you listed, CloudFlare being down sounds like a feature, not a bug!

@itsfoss My tinfoil hat, crackpot conspiracy is that this is all related to the Game of the Year voting! Voting for public opened today and people are flooding votes to E33, either this caused a general crash on the internet or someone flipped a switch to modify the vote and steal the GOTY!!

@itsfoss This has happened to a lesser extent before, which is why I always prioritize privacy-oriented DNS solutions over the most well-known ones. And yes, security goes hand in hand with privacy.
In the time I have used @quad9dns , #ControlD or @AdGuard, I have never had this problem.
However, I think Cloudflare is innovative and has some good features/solutions.
