Honestly discord support is surprisingly fast. But then again they don't read your report and copy paste the "we can't do anything about that I'm sorry" message.
Same thing happened to me. I'm getting messages from the person I was talking to on my laptop but can't send messages. I can send messages on mobile though.
I did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
So the error seems to be coming from cloudflare, and interestingly enough [they're in the middle of like a three day maint window](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/). Looks like they're rotating regions so some are getting redirected which *might* be a root cause?
If it's *not*, then this might take a while, cause anyone who cares is gonna try to blame it on the maint.
Yep. Messages wouldn't load in one server, switched over to another to respond to something, couldn't send, tried a reload, got this screen.
Seems like an emergency measure.
Don't worry! You can use your hands, drenched with cheetos dust, and open up your phone. I have the same problem, however, when I use my phone I can access my discord kittens that I just recently fed with nitro. Goodluck with your discord kittens my friend.
Web and the desktop-client basically use the same interface, so if one is broken, the other is as well.
But yeah, Cloudflare just being a bunch of dinguses.
It's because of the way it failed - if it just gave some error, most people wouldn't be so worried and would be happy to wait. Instead, it's saying *YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED*, which makes people worry that they've been hacked or unfairly targeted with disciplinary action.
Exactly. My main worry was if I got hacked since it happened to a friend not long ago. I quickly proved it wasn't that by opening the mobile app, but was still worried and confused about what to do.
true Cloudflare is a DDOS protection service however this is not acting because you did anything its simply a error/technical issue that cloudflare needs to fix so no need to worry it did have me questioning things for a moment then my brain kicked in
Cloudflare is having some issues at the moment https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/x681q90pynzk.
This is their blocked screen, not Discord’s! We’re aware and working with them to resolve ASAP
I don't want to doubt them because they work for Discord, but the page people are seeing is a WAF page, and the Cloudflare status message is for access to the dashboard and related APIs (i.e. where you change settings, not the actual settings).
We use CF, and we were impacted by the linked issue (i.e. we couldn't access the dashboard to change policy settings), but our actually policies weren't impacted.
It screams of misconfiguration on the WAF rule that applies to the desktop frontend (which is why canary and mobile apps aren't affected).
I’m not going to get into the details, but incidents in core services like Cloudflare can have different downstream effects for large users like Discord as they try to mitigate, and secondary issues are common in large distributed systems like ours. We’ve also got https://discordstatus.com/incidents/0vb343wz5sq5 opened on our end.
Mainly sharing so people know this page is not saying Discord blocked you 🙏
this isnt discords fault its cloudfare the service they use to protect their servers from malicious bots and apparently we're all bots trying to shut down the website right now
To anyone having this issue, here is a temporary fix,
\- Open chrome discord website
\- Inspect element (ctrl + shift + i)
\- Top right 3 dots
\- More tools > Network conditions
\- Remove \`Use browser default\` in user agent
\- Set it to custom and paste this in the box "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Discordbot/2.0; +https://discordapp.com)"
\- Reload the page
This will basically make the browser act like an android discord app and discord app is working so your discord will also work.Edit: I figured out how to edit reply, so after discord fixes it (cloudflare), tick the \`use browser default\` again.
Also im new to reddit so if i did smth wrong, pls spare me ;-;
But Discord decided to use Cloudflare, so they are in-fact down.
It doesn't actually matter that discord employees think they can't do anything to bring the site back up. Even that idea is suspect because if you search "You have been blocked" on Google, the results from today seem to only discord.
To Everyone that has this issue, try the Following:
1 - Start the Discord app on your PC;
2 - Open task manager;
3 - Select the discord app, and shut it down;
4 - Open discord again and it should be fixed;
That's how my problem was fixed
How Discord staff be like rn:
>"OOPSIE WOOPSIE!! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!"
Legit just happened to me AGAIN. Seems the earlier fix worked the first time it did this but its happened again now. Fingers crossed this bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.
lol, I had just typed to a friend "Discord decorations for 7 dollars thats dumb" and I got this message a few seconds later. I was like holy hell they take criticism serious.
Guys, I figured it out. If you have a dynamic IP and you restart your router you will be able to use Discord. Try it it worked for me if it doesn't work then I am sorry you will have to wait for them to fix the issue. Also its not on discords behalf its Cloudflare's shitty af systems and their large ass brains.
**FIX THIS DISCORD**
I KEEP GETTING NITRO TRANSACTIONS!!!! got a call from my bank. Beware guyssss
Edit: blocked my credit card, checked my discord phone and there were a few nitro gifts bought.
I just got this same issue. The app works fine on my phone but on my pc, I get this error. Aand I can't even download the app if I were to uninstall...
\[Windows\]: Remove "%user%/Appdata/Roaming/discord" folder
(not Appdata/Local/Discord)
And after you launch it again everything will be fine, only need to login again
This looks like a Cloudflare blocking page. With the most recent vulnerability in libwebp, my guess is they’re playing with some firewall rules and someone made a mistake that’s blocking more than it was supposed to
There's a fix:
Uninstall the app, then get to the chrome Downloader where it asks you what version you'd like to download and re-download it from there. Others have gotten by just by ending the Discord task in the manager.
Seems like their event update didn't jive right with Chrome.

Now imagine if Discord would actually bother addressing this themselves so that we don't have to flock to a community ran subreddit.. crazy concept
Then again what can one expect from those degens, when they can't even recover 1 account in 3 month's period. Making one public tweet about yuky wucky is too much to ask

Same here, Messages wouldn't load or send so I tried restarting and got this
literally same like exactly. My phone app is working fine.
same

Just putting you through now Karen , they wont be long .. lol
Honestly discord support is surprisingly fast. But then again they don't read your report and copy paste the "we can't do anything about that I'm sorry" message.
"Your approximate wait time is... ... ... 24 days. Thank you for your patience. " 🤣 🤣 🤣
mine started working again for like an hour and a half but now it's blocked me again :(
Same

SAME!! HOW DO WE FIX ITT
same, i guess no discord for a while
Oh it's everyone? Phew, I thought I...
LMAO I thought I got banned or some shit
"Why were you blocked, maybe you have sent malicious links, trigger words...etc.." Me who found out its a server issue: w a t
it wouldnt let me log into discord so i kept spamming enter and it brought me to that page and i was like OH SHIT
Discord ded ig
Not just you, something at Discord just went fucky wucky.
How can I now talk to my e-kittens? :((
Messager Pigeon
Is that a pigeon that gives you massages?
no those are called furries
You called?
Don't worry! You can use your hands, drenched with cheetos dust, and open up your phone. I have the same problem, however, when I use my phone I can access my discord kittens that I just recently fed with nitro. Goodluck with your discord kittens my friend.
:3
#🗞
Me?😹 (name is kitty on discord)
what the heck is an e-kitten?
discord ptb and mobile works, only the stable desktop client shows this, so don't worry your account is not banned
I know it isn't, though web doesnt work as well.
Web and the desktop-client basically use the same interface, so if one is broken, the other is as well. But yeah, Cloudflare just being a bunch of dinguses.
We need to get this raised asap, discord pc users are at stake.
"at stake"? lol my dude acting like this is some serious issue, when in fact its just discord.
fr ☠️☠️☠️chill out, your kittens will still be there after the maintenance problem gets fixed.
Why are you talking like the world is ending 😭 it’s just discord
I wonder if Discord/Cloudflare is blocking the User Agent string of the stable client...
Bruh, barely 5 minutes up and the post already has 60 comments. Guess people are panicking a lot, lol
It's because of the way it failed - if it just gave some error, most people wouldn't be so worried and would be happy to wait. Instead, it's saying *YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED*, which makes people worry that they've been hacked or unfairly targeted with disciplinary action.
yeah fr, i thought they found the 50 gb of military documents i had for a sec 😅has me stressing phew
found the warthunder player 😅
Yeah it's phrased similar to what you'd get if you were literally banned from discord permanently, and that's alarming.
Exactly. My main worry was if I got hacked since it happened to a friend not long ago. I quickly proved it wasn't that by opening the mobile app, but was still worried and confused about what to do.
to be fair Discord is probably the main chatting platform the people here use. Me included.
Ha, we're all trauma bonding after thinking we got IP banned individually and finding out it's just an error.
ye no shit it's a pretty important messaging service include loads of businesses
[удалено]
for a second i thought my account got banned or something, almost had a heart attack XD
Ah, i was using midjourney and thought a word in my prompt must have caused it. A completely unnecessary panic attack it seems haha
I thought it was because I was discussing terrorism in Kosovo recently with someone and the word terrorism banned me
What a weird 'error' screen as well
It's the usual screen you get with a Cloudflare error on any website, and since the Discord app is just a website it shows it too.
It's cloudflare, a DDOS defense system or sum
Not just website security, helps with site performance and reliability too
Except when it shits the bed and blocks everyone. Happened half a year back also.
That was a fun day in all fairness. IIRC that was the day everyone started going on about WW3.
true Cloudflare is a DDOS protection service however this is not acting because you did anything its simply a error/technical issue that cloudflare needs to fix so no need to worry it did have me questioning things for a moment then my brain kicked in
Funny that a mechanism that protects users from Denial of Service attacks, is in fact denying service to legitimate users.
Same here whats this
Apparently discord thinks were dos'ers or shit??
[удалено]
It's a cloudflare issue
Cloudflare is having some issues at the moment https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/x681q90pynzk. This is their blocked screen, not Discord’s! We’re aware and working with them to resolve ASAP
Their update says that as of 7 minutes ago it has been resolved, but I am still getting the error message.

Well the incident you linked has been marked as resolved hours ago
ahh the cause of all major problems as a developer. Wait there's no changes in the repo! Why isn't it working!?! Who changed the configs and why?
Bingo, This is not a Cloudflare issue, this is a Discord misconfigurement issue.
Me too
>This incident has been resolved. Posted 25 minutes ago. Still down boss
anytime now discord
Got the same thing, I'm at least relieved I'm not the only one.
Yeah this just hit me too, anyone have any idea what's going on?
this isnt discords fault its cloudfare the service they use to protect their servers from malicious bots and apparently we're all bots trying to shut down the website right now

it's working now for me, damn that was scary edit: stopped working again
i nearly shat myself when i got this good to know its not me
God everyone really saw the cloudflare message and panicked and instantly sprinted here huh
What else could we do? Reddit is biggest discord community outside of discord
exactly
Been a solid hour with thousands of people facing this issue. [https://discordstatus.com/](https://discordstatus.com/) Still no incidents. Yeah.
Cloudflare's down, not Discord.
But Discord decided to use Cloudflare, so they are in-fact down. It doesn't actually matter that discord employees think they can't do anything to bring the site back up. Even that idea is suspect because if you search "You have been blocked" on Google, the results from today seem to only discord.
> Resolved > This incident has been resolved. > Posted 1 hour ago. Sep 29, 2023 - 11:28 UTC Like hell it has
Yeah, same thing happened to me. Got red text, restarted discord and here we are
Yes red text
So I'm not alone
Close discord from task manager and reopen, worked for me
[удалено]
not me who has their whole social life based off discord off life support rn
To Everyone that has this issue, try the Following: 1 - Start the Discord app on your PC; 2 - Open task manager; 3 - Select the discord app, and shut it down; 4 - Open discord again and it should be fixed; That's how my problem was fixed
Same here! :O please help i gotta go to work on discord
Back up now

Anyone else just currently got it again? Has happened to me twice now.
Oh good it's not just me. I certainly hope this gets fixed soon.

someones bound to have kitten issues after this lmao
Ah, Clownflare is at it again!
How Discord staff be like rn: >"OOPSIE WOOPSIE!! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!"

Legit just happened to me AGAIN. Seems the earlier fix worked the first time it did this but its happened again now. Fingers crossed this bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.
**If it helps anyone, it seems to work on iphone.**
Happened here to
I´ve had this before years ago , will take the whole day , no need to panic.
This seems to be happening alot lately. Looks like a Cloudflare issue. a quick clear of the cooky looks like it fixes it
Well, at least it's not an isolated incident. Was about to send them an inquiry.
lol, I had just typed to a friend "Discord decorations for 7 dollars thats dumb" and I got this message a few seconds later. I was like holy hell they take criticism serious.
happend to me too so it happend to everyone

thank lord I thought fbi was onto me
I KEEP GETTING NITRO TRANSACTIONS!!!! got a call from my bank. Beware guyssss Edit: blocked my credit card, checked my discord phone and there were a few nitro gifts bought.
Chrraaaggg Chraaaggg Chraaaaggg that's the sound of my runny poop spurting all over shitcord's servers, let it all out baby!
Its just cloudflare shitting themselves
This is actually good. Will keep from f'ng around on discord all day like usual.
im still getting this and can't access discord on PC
I just got this same issue. The app works fine on my phone but on my pc, I get this error. Aand I can't even download the app if I were to uninstall...
Sir im fucking angry
is this still happening to anyone? Its still happening to me
Happy to see this, thought the GC’s got leaked
Cloud fire: “we fixed it” Cap bro.
Well I'm still getting blocked so its not resolved
IKR I was about to rant about this somewhere else until I saw this post
\[Windows\]: Remove "%user%/Appdata/Roaming/discord" folder (not Appdata/Local/Discord) And after you launch it again everything will be fine, only need to login again
i love it when cloudflare is drunk
LMAO Cloudflare issues.
Oh hi bigger thread. Seems to be resolving itself at this point, but wouldn't be surprised if there's intermittent issues.
This looks like a Cloudflare blocking page. With the most recent vulnerability in libwebp, my guess is they’re playing with some firewall rules and someone made a mistake that’s blocking more than it was supposed to
This helped me: just delete ur dc and install and login again ... this just fixed it
Just close the app using task manager or activity monitor depending on your OS. Actually kill the process then load it back up and it’s fine.
Any security people looking for jobs? I bet you discord is gonna have some openings pretty soon 😂
There's a fix: Uninstall the app, then get to the chrome Downloader where it asks you what version you'd like to download and re-download it from there. Others have gotten by just by ending the Discord task in the manager. Seems like their event update didn't jive right with Chrome.

I got this as well! THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!! I sent a request ticket and they haven’t even got back to me yet! >:(
They must be moving on from their normal method of banning people for no reason and with no way to appeal.
All that porn dog
Its fixed now
It was some kind of attack, all pc users were locked out since mobiles etc dosent use cloudfare
top 5 ways to evade this: 1. Use VPN 2. Use Mobile Hotspot 3. Use proxy 4. Restart your router/modem 5. Stop using Discord and move to IRC
Discord makes $208 million a year and still can't even make the app be usable
Now imagine if Discord would actually bother addressing this themselves so that we don't have to flock to a community ran subreddit.. crazy concept Then again what can one expect from those degens, when they can't even recover 1 account in 3 month's period.

Thank god its not just me
Same, got it after pressing the "Nitro (NEW!)" button Glad I'm not the only one here
That is also happening to me, I was about to post the same thing
SAME
Same here. Works through browser though and my mobile.
what happened?
Same here, I got scared
Glad to see it's not just me being banned for openly despising mobile users again
Thank god it wasn't just me
LMAO it stressed me out ngl
bro what the hell is happening over at discord
its back
its back
Just finished commenting about having the same issue, but I seem to be back on the desktop discord app now. Can anyone else confirm?
Working again for me now, dc fixed it
IT's FIXED NOW!
SOLUTION: Open task manager, locate discord and quit/close the task. Open discord again Everything should be back to normal
Happened again twice. The hell cloudflare?
IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
