In the meantime you can go to discord.com and use the web application or the mobile version. They both are not affected.
@dang can we block comments on this or delete or something?
the block is real tho. I can't login through my desktop client. Using the browser app works though. Maybe they disabled the Cloudflare CDN on their website as an emergency fix but couldn't easily do it for the desktop (i assume electron?) app?
This concentration of power in the hands of a few companies, like Cloudflare, Google, and Meta, is precisely why anti-trust laws were established. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of political will to enforce these laws effectively. As a result, the future landscape of the internet is likely to differ radically from what we are familiar with, and not for the better.
Just because a company is offering services enough that a plurality of users accept, doesn't warrant government interception or action.
You are incorrect.
Web browser version works just fine though.
Being lazy, but might try reinstalling discord sometime later.
What is "blocking traffic" in this context?
It seems this is causing a flood of people that aren't really accustomed to constructive discussions like the ones usually held here, as this thread is currently full of:
- "I have the same problem"
- "Someone has a fix please" followed by questionable remedies
- Some kind of Nazi troll (Not making this up, luckily gets flagged pretty quickly)
In other words, this thread shouldn’t really be posted here.
