Bro what the fuck happened to Reddit?

I was trying to browse the site, and I think it might be faced with a few problems.

This isn't even software gore...it's showing a basic error.

Why did you take a screenshot of your entire desktop?

Why do you have Edge, Chrome, and Firefox? And all three pinned to the taskbar?

And if you're going to use Reddit on a browser, why on earth would you use anything but old.reddit?

- > why do you have many browsers
  
  Testing issues, that’s my work computer as well
  
  > why windows 11 default theme
  
  I’m quoting myself on this one, gross

- I use two separate browsers myself because Firefox doesn't have the ability (as far as I'm aware) to have two (or more) browsers with separate instances/icons for different profiles that are taskbar pinnable (separately)...
  
  The most egregious thing OP has done however is centered their taskbar as well as left the search bar visible

- That's Reddit for you

It's run by incompetent bastards. That's what happened to it. This is what happens when you have zero attachment to what you actually produce, and instead care only about the money. They'd light the servers on fire today if that paid slightly more money. They have zero concern for the value the site represents to humanity. Same for Facebook and Fuckerberg.

They probably have a server outage. This happens from time to time..

- Which is always their fault. Server reliability is 99.9999999% uptime now, with load balancing elastic servers.

  I can tell you don’t work in software lol

  Right so when AWS or Akamai goes down that’s the fault of their customers right?

This is not a software problem though. If you need Reddit, just go for old.reddit and you should be fine.

Simply bail out and delete. F Reddit.

- Halt and set fire.

old.reddit still works. Shoulda not fixed what ain't broke

- It doesn't really work any more. Any post with an image will just show you the image when you try to open the post, and there is a little button at the bottom that says "view post". If you click that button it tries to install the app. If you don't let it install the app then it takes you to the new site. Ugh, I can't even. I hate them so much!

  That’s not been my experience.
  
  This was the first post with an image I saw when I went to see if something had changed:

  This gave me hope that it would actually just be the image, not wrapped in reddit's viewer UI bullshit, in a sort of "task failed successfully" way. But no, you still get their nonsense wrapped around it. Why would anyone want to just look at an image when that's what they click on.

- It was also broken for a good bit today

Is that Windows 11 or a very convincing KDE theme?
