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!

I hope reddit dies

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.

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

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 😔
