According to https://discordstatus.com/, there isn’t an outage. Are you suggesting that there’s currently an ongoing outage, and their status page is useless? (Wouldn’t be the first time, but it’s surprising that an otherwise excellent engineering team would make such a mistake.)

Self reporting can be problematic if a company is looking to be acquired. I prefer to use 3rd party monitoring tools. The paid ones like 1k-eyes are great, but there are some free ones like DownDetector [1] that sometimes help paint a picture albeit not perfect.

I saw a consistent outage with their web servers, yes. It lasted about 10-15 minutes, just enough time to think of posting about it on HN.

And yes their status page was useless during this. Yes I have seen this happen elsewhere.
