Reddit is down
Reddit is down
Isn't it ironic? Even lemmy.ml is still chugging along slowly, meanwhile reddit fell on its face...
Good, let it die.
Apparently they're claiming the blackout itself is causing the site to go down. Lol.
seems to be working now for me, unfortunately
The damage was done... there's a ton of news stories about the outage, all covering the blackout protest.
There was some speculation in other communities that it was an intentional move on Reddit's part either to try to hide the protest (so they can say the drop in user activity was due to the outage instead), or that they were using the time to do something to counter the protest, but if that's the case, the news coverage is increasing the reach of the protest beyond what it might otherwise have had.
