They couldn't handle the lack of traffic.
I think we're witnessing a murder
Shutting the site down is one way to avoid the protests. I guess...
Yep it's broken for me too !
you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.
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"
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.
And I thought it was my shitty reception at work! Wonder how long it’s going to stay down
same here:
"Just don't panic."
LOL the irony! Again!
"You can't take your subreddit down if the whole site is down! Hah!"
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
Yeah I feel like it doesn't make sense for Reddit to deliberately take down its own site while people are protesting. My bet it's a dedicated pissed off person took down the site.
Edit: Kbin seems to be down too which is interesting.
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!
Here is the status page. It briefly loaded for me on Sync, then crashed again. DDoS attack maybe?
You would need one hell of a botnet to DDOS a site as large as reddit while half its normal users are essentially striking
