Reddit Admins taking part in blackout?

The mods have a man on the inside

I also noticed that the entire site seems to be down. I tried to go on there to scrub my posts and back up some stuff, and it wouldn’t even load my login.

It’s just the site, 3rd party apps still work lol…

Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!

Update: Seems to be back up!

I wonder if the huge amount of API denials due to private subs had some effect on the backend.

Probably an attempt to hide how many subs are private

From their statuspage:

“Reddit Failing to Load Identified - We’re aware of problems loading content and are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Jun 12, 2023 - 07:58 PDT”

I was just clicking on a Reddit link from Google and was hoping that sub wasn’t privatised, turns out the website is down lol.

I was just getting spammed on modmail by someone minutes before the whole site went under. Another mod I talked to had precisely the same thing happen. Coincidence?

Good.
