I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.

    Not all instances were burned. Lemmy.world that i use was though. I will make a user for backup in an instance that is not affected by cloudflare.

      Lemmy.world that i use was though.

      So what does that entail - the site was completely down, or images didn’t load?

      Would I even notice that in my unaffected instances feed? Just no lemmy.world posts at all, or would it leave empty placeholders?

        Well my user is on lemmy.world, so even if i loaded other instances i would not be logged in. The site was completely down. Old posts from lemmy.world showed on the fediverse, just no new posts while down (users could not connect or view the site).
