“Ok guys, if we take the site down they can’t have a blackout: It’s brilliant!”
-Spez probably
We did it, reddit!
…wait, fuck. Lemmy!
Thanks for your good punctuation.
we are reddit in some ways
In all the ways that matter, the users and quality content are its heart. Take that away and it’s more like UnDeadit.
We’re more reddit than reddit
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.
Not paying mods gave them an out to not be a publisher.
If your company is the one doing the moderation, then you become responsible for what is on your website, and that means spez would have to get rid of the Nazis :(.
Replacing them all with automod

THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN
Aggressive techno noises
Strong Bad at his finest
The Cheat is grounded!
Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
how long was it? i heard about it earlier but when i checked it worked fine
Webpage is still down for me - ironically Boost for Reddit seems to work fine
About an hour.
What is this reddit? i only know lemmy ;)
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…
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 free tier usage reached
drink a verification can of {product placement} to continue
LMFAOIt’s funny that it works normally on Apollo for me 😎
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.
It’s back up again… DANG!
Edit: And DOWN again lmao
Is it possible someone launched a DDoS attack against Reddit?
Its been having issues for days. I discovered as much while deleting all my old post and comments.
I’ve used rif and old.reddit respectively for so long that I really had no idea how much of a shitshow the ui had turned in too until I checked it out through the official app and new layout style in browser.
No fucking thank you, take your glitter shit and constant ad pushing and jump off a cliff.
The first ad that popped was a promoted post for machine gun kelly. I listen to grindcore, crossover, metal, etc… That sealed its fate in my eyes.
I actually prefer when the ads are targeted but wrong. It shows me they don’t know me as well as they could. Also if I’m not interested they aren’t distracting
Same here. I’ve been using old.reddit with RES and apollo for so long that I forgot reddit even had ads until I tried the official app.
Same, RiF + old. FTW TBH, really liking Lemmy ❤️
