Are the reddit admins incompetent or are they also joining the protest? Place your bets here!
EDIT: Looks like they’re back.
laughs in Lemmy
Where’s that popcorn eating GIF when you need it
They couldn’t handle the lack of traffic.
Yep it’s broken for me too !
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”
you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.
I think we’re witnessing a murder
Shutting the site down is one way to avoid the protests. I guess…
same here:
And I thought it was my shitty reception at work! Wonder how long it’s going to stay down
“You can’t take your subreddit down if the whole site is down! Hah!”
Yes me too. I thought it was just my Apollo app.
Me too I thought it had gone down early or something. Using mLem rn for this and it’s very similar to Apollo!
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.
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.
Wonder if a dedicated protestor may be putting in some extra effort and bogging the site down with crap requests
