Down detector does apparently not work for Annas Archive. The site itself works for me, but down detector shows it's down.

Maybe change your DNS and try again.

Does changing my DNS server change this result?

Depends upon the cause. If AA is blocking certain countries, for example, and your uptime checker is running from one of them, well...

Or maybe both you and the uptime site are using the same DNS provider, which might be censoring AA.

Thanks for explaining. TIL.

They didn't work for me until I used Tor. Then they all worked.

Sounds like your government or ISP is blocking it

Strange, it's up for me with no issue.
