I didn't know Gab was using Cloudflare, but there it is: https://intodns.com/gab.com

edit: https://tv.gab.com/ works and so does https://dissenter.com/ . Might not be a Cloudflare issue, might just be regular ol' maintenance or outage. Cloudflare had a large outage last night that impacted most North American customers from what I understand so it's not like they're prone to breaking.

Definitely down for me. I don't use it, but loaded it to see :)

CloudFail has been experiencing a good bit of issues past few weeks.

Yeah, could be an outage. Amazon is comfortable saying "you broke our Terms of Service" (i.e. "we don't like you"). So in the absence of such an email, I'm inclined to believe this is technical issues.

Don't you DIY nerds blackhole CloudFlare on your personal nets?

The world is a lot quieter and more decent when you blackhole CloudFail.

20% of all web traffic now goes through CloudFlare. Cloudflares main evil is that it 100% destroys SSL (HTTPS).

Totally... It's a man-in-the-middle.

I wouldn't care if 70% of the net went through CF. It is just another honeypot / slave plantation for the lazy, those in over their heads, those without funding to do this or that tech wizbang.

Slaves need to revolt.

I can access it. I read some posts on Gab saying it was shutdown temporarily for maintenance.

At 6:09pm EST Gab became aware of several accounts that were posting bitcoin wallet spam and related content. At 6:25pm out of an abundance of caution we brought the site offline in order to immediately assess the situation

Gab downed themselves...

Why?

At 6:09pm EST Gab became aware of several accounts that were posting bitcoin wallet spam and related content. At 6:25pm out of an abundance of caution we brought the site offline in order to immediately assess the situation, solve the problem, and get Gab back online as soon as possible. Because of our quick action zero bitcoin was sent to any of the addresses posted and the affected accounts have been secured.

Because some Bitcoin crud on their platform? So pull whole site and everything in it down?

I have no faith in that site.

I have no faith in Gab, but I am curious what would have been done to them by governments and supragovernmental authorities had they not taken steps to protect Musk's ransomware stocks.

This is not the first time Cloudflare has done this stuff. I forget who was targeted previously (8chan? voat? Someone else?). The point being, who but a 'tard would trust them not to do the same crap again? If someone sucker punches you, are you really that stupid to let him move behind you ever again? Apparently yes.
