Reddit is DOWN for thousands of users

Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!

Oh no! Anyways...

Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.

Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?

Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.

Weird, it's been down for me since June of last year.

Literally thousands. That's all the humans that are left.

When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!

Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!

Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?

Think of all the poor bots that can't repost!

Good! Now stay down!

We may have our opinions about the qualities of Reddit. But the Daily Mail? I feel dirty, just having a link to that dump on my screen.

I hope reddit dies

DAILY MAIL is a shit SHIT source.

But fuck reddit.

Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.

I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.

Reddit down report #420 this year.

Tell me when AWS or something is down. Reddit goes down so often it becomes a nothing burger

...butt I'm on the toilet! I need my precious!

Hang on, I'm 3D printing a tiny violin.

I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.

What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.

Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?

Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔

Not thousands enough

Everyone please be nice to the influx of newcomers

If you cannot resist the urge to blurt out your alternative socioeconomic views try your best to at least do it gently

Just log in on another server... Duh!

I was wondering why it kept giving me a "you broke reddit" error. Not that Im visiting reddit for funsies, but its where just about every troubleshooting search result takes me, which is frustrating.

I'm all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that's when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn't use anymore

Nice... We welcome all users to the fediverse. Try mbin!

Lol

Nice. ☺️

What’s “reddit”?

^/s

Well, at least I will just post on lemmy more

Apollo sideloaded stopped working so I’m back to Lemmy. Seems like an API issue.

The bots that are reddit's biggest users can detect downtime in milliseconds.

Again, if reddit keeps malfunctioning, eventually it will lose all its functionality and one day shut down for good.

Ha ha

This problem cannot happen to feddiverse? All nodes just queue sending to others?

HAHA

Its working as intended for me. Hence, I’m here.

Oh no... So anyways lol

old.reddit just loaded for me!

I hope AI is okay 🙏!.... It wasn't us, oh great begin!

When it comes back up the remaining 5 actual human users will have had their accounts taken over to be used by more bots.

Reddit is down very based

Reddit is so astroturfed at this point I still use it sometimes but for so many users the content on all is stale as fuck

I read "Reddit is down for thousands of years" and got kinda excited.

Yup even 3rd party clients are having issues
