Pretty unstable here, it loads but all the user specific pages return 'error code: 503'

And their status page shows all green... https://reddit.statuspage.io/

Is AWS/Azure/GCE down? Remember: the cloud is someone's else computer. When it's broken, you cannot do anything

So what? I would rather have Google/Amazon employees on the issue than some random DevOps dude.

This just doesn’t make sense. Google/Amazon employees basically are some random DevOps “dudes”. Whereas your own people would be...whoever you decided to hire to work on your infrastructure.

Turkey?

I don't understand the relation/reference. I'm Turkish and have been watching the news but I don't see any reason why someone correlates large websites being down with Turkey. With no explanation too. Can you elaborate please? This is an honest question and I would like to know if my government is hacking foreign sites in retaliation for sanctions.
