To this end, it’s not yet clear what is the root cause of the issue, but a user of X (formerly Twitter) shared thatthe issue might be Cloudflare-related, as the service is currently undergoing maintenance, which is restricting users from accessing the platform both on the web and desktop versions.
Multiple usershave indicated receiving the following pop-up message each time they try to access the platform: “Sorry, you have been blocked.“Reports flagging the issue continue to floodDownDetector, with speculations indicating that this could be a server connection issue.
