Everyone laughs when AWS collapses, everyone is silent when Cloudflare collapses. Why? Because the place to laugh has collapsed.

Because those who were mocking him couldn't speak, X also crashed.
Peter Levels wisdom about why to host not on aws not looking so wise right now
There are places other than AWS to host.
One is every seven years... the other one is a ...monthly event?: https://hn.algolia.com/?https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=al...
Most of those aren’t outages, and both providers have big blips.
Globally meaningful outages of either are quite rare.
This is at least the third time in the past year that Cloudflare has caused a significant outage of my product.

Down detector broke.... :-D
Yeah, how ironic. The site that is designed to tell you if something else is down, is currently down.

Who is silent?
Cloudflare down because of a DDOS is extremely funny.
There's no evidence to suggest it was a result of a DDoS attack
That's true, but there is evidence that it would be extremely funny.
There's no public evidence. Lets wait for the blog post.

Except on HN
HAHA!
Our servers are still down, though
HAHAHAHA
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry
Maybe I'll do both

> Everyone laughs when AWS collapses, everyone is silent when Cloudflare collapses
Everyone laughs when Azure collapses too
Everyone is silent when Cloudflare collapses. Same goes for Azure, but that is because noone uses it.
When Azure goes down: Oh well
When Cloudflare goes down: Oh no
This would be true in the past but now most people are not on Twitter.
Sadly, I can report that this has brought down 2 of the major Mastodon nodes in the United Kingdom.
Happily, the small ones that I also use are still going without anyone apparently even noticing. At least, the subject has yet to reach their local timelines at the time that I write this.
2 of the other major U.K. nodes are still up, too.
"Most people" were never on Twitter to begin with. However its number of monthly active users have only grown since 2020.

Like everywhere it is mostly bots.
Look at HN frontpage, there used to be 1-2 Twitter post per day. Now it is barely per week. End even those are usually just from two accounts (Karpathy and Carmack).
