A comment on Cloudflare was down. Parent comment

I get a DNS servfail when resolving that DNS record, and many others:

    Server:    8.8.8.8
    Address:   8.8.8.8#53
    
    ** server can't find status.discord.com: SERVFAIL
So it's either not just cloudflare, or all those sites use cloudflare to host their DNS.

8.8.8.8 is Google and is down in addition to Cloudflare. 8.8.4.4 was still up.

8.8.8.8 is a caching resolver and it wasn't down. Do you understand how caching resolvers work?
