Looks like reddit went down. (downforeveryoneorjustme.com)

Are the reddit admins incompetent or are they also joining the protest? Place your bets here!

EDIT: Looks like they're back.

Where's that popcorn eating GIF when you need it

They couldn't handle the lack of traffic.

Shutting the site down is one way to avoid the protests. I guess...

[–] nieceandtows@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.

I think we're witnessing a murder

And I thought it was my shitty reception at work! Wonder how long it’s going to stay down

I honestly wonder if it's an attempt to hide all the privated subs and the messages they have on their private page. Now instead of seeing what's going on its just "oh guess reddit down"

[–] Lockely@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

It could be an obfuscation for the drop in overall traffic for sure, but that's pretty transparent if they try that sort of thing.

[–] BigBorner@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

If there is no Reddit, there is no statistic on how severe the user drop is due to the subs that went private. That’s probably better for the IPO.

"You can't take your subreddit down if the whole site is down! Hah!"

[–] BigBorner@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

For me it doesn’t work too. Neither via Apollo nor via website. Haha.

They want to avoid having statistics how far it went down after the blackout. For the IPO, I bet.

[–] AteMoonPie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes me too. I thought it was just my Apollo app.

[–] Gaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Me too I thought it had gone down early or something. Using mLem rn for this and it’s very similar to Apollo!

https://reddit.statuspage.io/

Here is the status page. It briefly loaded for me on Sync, then crashed again. DDoS attack maybe?

You would need one hell of a botnet to DDOS a site as large as reddit while half its normal users are essentially striking
