#32HN is acting slow in responsiveness too, DDoS?
Where else do you think the wave of reddit users will crash? Slashdot? Some federated assemblage like Mastodon or Lemmy? An indie clone trying to be to reddit what reddit was to digg? I'm guessing all of the above.

#35Lots 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
They don't have people to be moderators of all those subs. That's why subs have volunteer mods.

A meme pointing out that u/spez was a mod of r/jailbait in 2008 was the top post on r/all a few hours ago

#37Just getting a "You broke reddit" message - wonder if they've taken this time to do some maintenance or something?
Happens every day.
Either "You broke reddit" or "Our CDN failed to reach our servers."
You would think that a company trying to have an IPO sometime in the near future would have a better control over basic shit breaking. There's nothing complex about their software and it's been breaking in the same way for years now.

#38This is just the usual message you get when they are overloaded. Goes to show how successful this "boycott" is.
Sounds more like - we don't want anyone to know it's a ghost town here (metrics will prove protestors correct) - so let's say it was a system down issue - and then claim there was no meaningful protest.

#39Just tried to go to the site, got the "You broke reddit!" page. They don't know how right they are.

#40Reddit is up for me, and the homepage content actually seems, if anything, a little improved.
There is lots of stuff from AskReddit and some tech subreddits I'm subscribed to. Gone is all the junk from /r/pics and memes etc.
If my experience is common, this "48 hour blackout" won't have the intended effect.
