These don't have the twitter feed excusing the issue, the last tweet was a days prior when it happened last. It's as if they only affect African users, the Johannesburg PoP is also used by Kenyan users.

At first, I wondered why the HN Feed never explained the downtime. Then it made sense, it must be cloudflare.

Given that CloudFlare is everywhere & on everyone's websites, it's a pain when it behaves this way affecting users all over a continent.

Uptime websites also report the site as up.
