I feel like Reddit is more read heavy and Twitter is more write heavy. If you're trying to read Reddit and it's down, you'll probably go read it some other time (/r/all doesn't change that frequently). If you're trying to tweet news or something, there is no way to do that when Twitter is down.
Probably just the way you use them? You Tweet and lurk Reddit? All user generated content is read heavy. Most people just lurk. Twitter publishing view counts is demonstrating this clearly. You'll get 3 likes, 2 comments, and 400 views.
Just thought I’d mention that Twitter’s exposed view count is not indicative of actual views from users. You can get hundred of views on a private account with a handful of followers.

It has actually gotten a lot better. Incremental progress for a few years and we're in a fairly good place. This is highly unusual.
> It has actually gotten a lot better. Come on, almost every evening you get error pages. Yes they don't last more than a few refreshes, but it's simply ridiculous for a site as prominent as Reddit.

I’ve never experienced that and use reddit far too much.

I always like when people say Twitter's lower reliability will drive people off the site. Reddit's been awful for more than a decade and people still use it.
It's tempting to want to blame the admins or political bias...the main problem are the mods for individual subs. Too much domain and keyword filtering, arbitrary removals of content, algorithmic removals/filtering, etc. The whole point of moderating is to actually moderate, not remove stuff automatically all the time. Even content that gets up-voted and users like, will not uncommonly be removed for no reason. If the…

Looking at Downdetector it looks like Reddit and AWS started having problems simultaneously: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
I noticed Hacker News being slow at roughly the same time that Reddit went down, though that's probably a coincidence.
>All: our poor server is smoking today* so I've had to reduce the page size of comments. There are already a thousand comments in this thread but if you want to read more than a few dozen you'll need to page through them by clicking the More link at the bottom. I apologize!
>Also, if you're cool with read-only access, just log out and all will be fast again.
>* yes, HN still runs on one core, at least the part that serves logged-in requests, and yes this will all get better someday...it kills me that this isn't done yet but one day you will all see

It is actually hilarious. People would rather wait for Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, etc to get back online than to sign up to another alternative social network. It means that the network effect is still present on the site such that it is not worth it for existing users to migrate and start from zero again to a lesser known platform with low discoverability or little to no activity. Especially one with a si…
Is there a service that matches my curated list of subjects as well as Reddit does?
