“Ok guys, if we take the site down they can’t have a blackout: It’s brilliant!”
-Spez probably
Big brain move
They’re likely changing the mod structure during the blackout. A lot of low-paid, repurposed bangladeshi click-farm mods coming in.
Reddit? Paying mods? As if.
They’ve gone 15 years not paying mods for their work. They’re not about to start now, especially if they’re concerned about costs.
Replacing them all with automod

Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
While I was reading through this, I had a pop-up saying “report created”. I didn’t press anything to report; I only gave upvotes. So, apologies to who/what was reported. 😖
same thing happened to me on another post! Not sure what I clicked…
how long was it? i heard about it earlier but when i checked it worked fine
About an hour.
Webpage is still down for me - ironically Boost for Reddit seems to work fine
THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN
Aggressive techno noises
Strong Bad at his finest
The Cheat is grounded!
Reddit free tier usage reached
drink a verification can of {product placement} to continue
What is this reddit? i only know lemmy ;)
Readdit, never even heard it
It’s back up again… DANG!
Edit: And DOWN again lmao
i like how they said that the outage anticipated and expected yet, they didn’t prevent it only to try to fix it once it happened. totally healthy company behavior 👌
It’s funny that it works normally on Apollo for me 😎
LMFAOIs it possible someone launched a DDoS attack against Reddit?
Good to know that Reddit can be killed for an entire afternoon any time the community wants by coordinating the use of basic site functions.
I think it’s ridiculous that it’s actually the sub blackout that killed Reddit today. How can this happen?
See TheVerge: “Reddit crashed because of the growing subreddit blackout”
Reddit has long survived with the help of pornography makers. Reddit does not face a quick death.
Makers and consumers. At one point an Admin, I think it was Alexis or Yashan, said straight up like 50% of reddit is porn. That was years ago though, and I’m sure they’ve done what they could to mitigate that.
