paduasoy: "I suppose what I meant about where to report this is more, is there any point? Is this useful to the site?
Screenshots of the error would be best, but lacking that, a note would be fine, be it email or a MeTa post, just so we can tell if something is going on for a lot of people or just a few. I don't see an error recorded for the glitches you mention paduasoy.
But I am currently just using the free version UptimeRobot, the paid version of Cloudflare no doubt has more robust monitoring. I don't have access to that yet, frimble is working on getting me access, not current eta on that.

Geez... Several comments deleted. Left some of the responses for context. Please refresh if needed. kschang, please take a step back and stop commenting on this thread. Genocide-denial doesn't have a place here on Metafilter, so please stop.

Several comments deleted. As Brandon pointed out, name calling goes against the Content Guidelines but moreover, Press Butt.on to Check and Pseudonymous Cognomen please take a step back and let the conversation move on without your participation, this is not a thread for you to pick a fight with one another.
MetaFilter post Yes, America has a Housing Emergency deleted. Post is too thin, just a single link to substack
Pseudonymous Cognomen: "
lol a turd calling the kettle shit
Oh look, one of MeFi's resident genocide apologists has something to say! (you can fuck off, btw.)"
Press Butt.on to Check: "lol a turd calling the kettle shit"
Both of you need to knock off the name calling right now, it goes against the Content Guidelines. If y'all continue that line of behavior, you may be removed from the site.
This thread is about one of the most hated people in the world, y'all have a big target in him if dislike needs to expressed. There's no need to turn that on other members of the site.
