In addition to Spotify, Discord is down. The official Twitter account for the platform confirmed as much following a massive influx of reports from users on Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere claiming that Discord servers were down. The official website for Discord Status has confirmed that the issue has been identified, but so far, a fixed hasn’t been pinpointed, and there’s no word of when this will change. The service could be down for a few minutes, a few more hours, or even days, if the issue is severe, though nothing so far suggests the latter is the case.
