Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it's not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here's hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?
Who cares. Lemmy is up.
It's cloudflare. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
It's taken down Reddit and also Kbin and Hacker News. Good for Kbin, gives them time to up their resources that isn't their fault.
Kinda a hilarious timing really.
That's one hell of a coincidence
Kbin and Reddit being down proves that God is on Lemmy's side. Its a sign from the Lord I tell ya.
Odin is with us!
I tried to go on kbin to write that reddit was down .. only to discover kbin is down too!
Maybe, this is the day the CEO goes..."hmm, maybe I was wrong, and communities are important to reddit, and the value of free moderation far out weighs my API idiocy", but probable not because CEO tend to be self centered, sociopaths so will most likely double down. Good let's just move to lemmy and mastodon get federation working between them and get rid of centralized corporate internet that always screws their communities after we create the value.
And then the ceo thinks: "Oh well, better use this downtime to start finding new mods for communities that wont go back up in two days!"
Maybe they're doing "server maintenance" for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao
"Server maintenance" while they replace all the mods with scabs.
Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to "work reform" aka we like work and bosses are good!
If it is deliberate, I'm pretty sure that'd be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they'd end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.
I'd assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I'm here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit ... wonky on posting today with all us refugees.
I broke Reddit :(
Yup, there's something going on. It's down here too and I've already seen a number of posts on Lemmy about this.
Also discussed in https://lemmy.world/post/74649.
I did not call yesterday that reddit would be having worse availability problems than Lemmy today.
Definitely something going on. Redditstatus.com shows everything operational. I noticed weird bugs yesterday too like images for different posts on the main page. Funny how less users has made it more broken.
"Something" went wrong, yeah :)
