Are the reddit admins incompetent or are they also joining the protest? Place your bets here!
EDIT: Looks like they’re back.

They couldn’t handle the lack of traffic.
laughs in Lemmy
Where’s that popcorn eating GIF when you need it
Shutting the site down is one way to avoid the protests. I guess…
you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.
Maybe something auto scaled down itself into oblivion because of the lack of load 😂
I think we’re witnessing a murder
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.
It could be an obfuscation for the drop in overall traffic for sure, but that’s pretty transparent if they try that sort of thing.
Honestly seems pretty likely, it’s got to be pretty bad press for them with so many subs going private.
The pretty bad press is already there. Some dude told me it’s on BBC, for example.
And I thought it was my shitty reception at work! Wonder how long it’s going to stay down
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.
Cypress testing if sub is alive. If not, reboot servers.
Repeat
Yep it’s broken for me too !
Reddit did go down due to the blackout - their roles database could not handle the requests to private threads. If its a private thread, they need to check if the request is from a person who has the authority (moderator etc) to see them lol
same here:
Does Lemmy have Community banners/icons? This should be it
“Just don’t panic.”
LOL the irony! Again!
I just realised… Lemmy can’t really go down.
“You can’t take your subreddit down if the whole site is down! Hah!”
Let’s fire 90 random workers, what could go wrong?
Wow! I missed that! This is bad, bad.
