Any contacts from Discord here? Just started seeing cloudflare blocking 250,000 IP addresses.

There is an unsubstiantated rumor (based on the fact that, from the
same IP address, it works with one browser but not the other) that
Cloudflare detects somehow programs that run a vulnerable version of
libwebp and block them (may be there are dangerous images sent on
Discord). As I said, no evidence, just a rumor, but a funny one.
