That's the problem with these black-box cloud offerings, that you can never know what will work (or not) and from where. You get semi-random, pseudo-localized outages that are not accounted for in all the 9's of availability.
With a standard TCP/UDP session, it mostly just works or doesn't and you can get a proper traceroute to know what's up. With these fancy CDNs, there's a whole new can of worms to deal with and from a client's perspective you have no clue what's happening because it's all taking place in their private network space where we have no "looking glass".
Fuck the cloud, i want real Internet.

Same here in central Poland (Łódź area), no problem with any of linked websites.
edit: My whole Twitter timeline is full of posts saying "Twitter outage? what outage?". Same on Reddit and Twitch chat, feels like for a short time I was invited into some exclusive circle lmao. StackOverflow and other StackExchange sites also work so I can look stuff up for you.

Interesting. Here in the Netherlands they don't.
Germany here (n=1), everything works except reddit and ft.com
Same from Germany, all of these seem up except for reddit and ft. Maybe we got lucky with our edge node...
Not in East Germany :D
