Are the reddit admins incompetent or are they also joining the protest? Place your bets here!
EDIT: Looks like they’re back.

They couldn’t handle the lack of traffic.

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”
- BigBorner ( @BigBorner@feddit.de ) English3•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.
- Lockely ( @Lockely@pawb.social ) English2•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.
- SerJonSnow ( @SerJonSnow@sh.itjust.works ) English2•1 year ago
Honestly seems pretty likely, it’s got to be pretty bad press for them with so many subs going private.
- nieceandtows ( @nieceandtows@sh.itjust.works ) English6•1 year ago
you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.

Shutting the site down is one way to avoid the protests. I guess…
- chadac ( @chadac@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year ago
I’m betting they hit some edge case caused by a particular subreddit going private, or a group of subs going private. I’m sure someone’s got a subreddit hard-coded in for health checks or something similar.

Yep it’s broken for me too !

LOL the irony! Again!

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

Yes me too. I thought it was just my Apollo app.
- Gaz ( @Gaz@lemmy.world ) English3•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!
- FlaxPicker ( @FlaxPicker@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year ago
Same, excited for the full features to arrive on it. Been looking at the road map on their github and it should be a great app once everything gets built.
- PotjiePig ( @PotjiePig@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year ago
I just realised… Lemmy can’t really go down.
