Hacker News Reader

It's because HN is the first result when searching up "discord cloudflare blocked", there's a lot of people looking for help for this one it seems.

and simply "discord cloudflare"

lot of new accounts not even reading the thread and asking why they've been blocked.

"Will I be able to make my dnd session?!" Kinda cute, maybe we'll find a new generation of HN members!

I used to lurk here all the time, and now this thread pushed me to finally create an account and comment :)

I'm part of Gen Z, so I guess you can count me in? Haha

looks like Discord users searching for the block found this thread and signed up to comment.

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?

I wonder where they are coming from. Has hackernews become a site status checker, and because there's no good direct link, people are linking to HN? (tbh they also do that if there's a good direct link)

It was the first google result for me when googling. So here I am.
