#73This 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.
Yeah you must be onto something! It must be that! I'm sure spez set that all up with the same lizardmen that organized 9/11 for the CIA!!!

#75It seems many services are experiencing an uptick in outages at the moment: https://downdetector.com/
I'll be pissed if outlook goes down again
As someone not responsible for Outlook, the last time we had Outlook/AS outage ... the sense of calm that I experienced knowing that no one is able to send me any emails even if just for an hour ... cannot be explained in mere words :)

#76having all these subs go private is probably slowing down the business logic for generating everyone's front page.
Re: Reddit.com appears to be having an outage
#77Thousands of subs are down to protest Reddit's upcoming API charges.
What I see is interesting behavior, though:
1. The page loads but no content is shown on either the home page or my profile page.
2. It says I'm not logged in.
3. It has a list of recent subs I've looked at.
I have no idea what their architecture looks like, but I would guess it's statically served javascript that gets all of its data from some web API, and that API is down.

#78Lots 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
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
I'm surprised he didn't get more flack for this when he last courted controversy by changing posts critical of him.

#79HN is feeling janky too, not sure if it's related to this.

Pointless speculation. Reddit has constant outages of this exact nature almost weekly. There's nothing special about this one.
Probably DDoS more likely today
