Hour two of the Cloudflare outage, Mastodon retry queue at record length and failed attempts at highest amount on record too.
Wild, entering hour three and still seeing sites down and about 40% failure rate on Mastodon Sidekiq queue requests.
Fun fact, if you google booter services (DDoS services), almost every major one is a Cloudflare customer. So currently, by anti-DDoS provider Cloudflare being offline, the world is a safer place.
Cloudflare says it is resolved, and my Mastodon server queue is clearing now... so prepare for DDoS to resume, since their DDoS botnet customers are back online.
Here's the 6 month Mastodon Sidekiq track, you'll see the highest amount of failures on the far right today in red - that was the Cloudflare outage.
Hopefully it encourages more #mastoadmin to consider if Cloudflare is a good choice.
