Works for me.

I get a DNS servfail when resolving that DNS record, and many others:

    Server:    8.8.8.8
    Address:   8.8.8.8#53
    
    ** server can't find status.discord.com: SERVFAIL

So it's either not just cloudflare, or all those sites use cloudflare to host their DNS.

The latter.

    $ dig +short discord.com ns
    sima.ns.cloudflare.com.
    gabe.ns.cloudflare.com.

8.8.8.8 is Google and is down in addition to Cloudflare. 8.8.4.4 was still up.

8.8.8.8 is a caching resolver and it wasn't down. Do you understand how caching resolvers work?

Same. It has a big banner saying CloudFlare is down.
