Reddit.com appears to be having an outage

Karma at its finest.

Reddit almost always have problem around this time everyday though.

Lots of speculation on Twitter about this—a failed attempt to re-open all closed subreddits and instate their own moderators. I can't imagine it'd be that, although I do enjoy the conspiracy, and more likely they were using the window of reduced traffic to make some larger changes and they went awry

news.ycombinator is also very slow

HN is also really slow, this could be a wider-spread backend issue like when that one CDN took down half of the internet with it.
