Popular messaging and voice chat app Discord experienced an outage earlier today, leaving numerous users unable to access their accounts. Reports flooded in from frustrated users who were confronted with a message stating, “Sorry, you have been blocked.” However, the issue has since been resolved, and Discord is now back online.

Users report not being able to log in to their respective Discord accounts, and those who were able to log in had trouble accessing their chats and message history. Surprisingly, the issue seemed to only affect the web and the desktop app. The Discord mobile app worked fine. Discord’s official status page logged the errors and issued a fix, but it took a while to reach everybody.
