It seems many services are experiencing an uptick in outages at the moment: https://downdetector.com/
I wonder if there is a correlation between industry layoffs and outages

No one is upset because reddit wants to make the API paid. Several 3rd party apps were looking forward to working with reddit in this regard.
People are upset because:
- Reddit has been terrible and dishonest in their communication - Reddit is dropping Twitter-like pricing out of the blue - These prices seem to have the goal of killing 3rd party apps instead of merely being ‘realistic’ or ‘fair’, like Reddit is claiming - Reddit is dragging well respected devs through the mud and trying to make them look like the bad guys

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.
What surprises me is that he's not ousted by the board yet. Surely at this point he's causing more trouble than he's worth?

#117Oh, so that's why I started to get 503 errors from my archive and delete scripts.
Certainly hitting the site harder today by trying to crawl 8 years and 70,000 karma worth of comments in preparation for deleting the account than by browsing my usual subreddits.

#119HN 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.
Or all the ppl missing Reddit are on HN to fill the need.
That's literally why I'm here right now.
I usually browse Reddit with my morning coffee, this has been a pleasant alternative

#120Ironically, old.reddit.com appears to be (partially) working right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/142l1i0/archiv... https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/142l1i0/archiv...
Not for me, I get a "you broke reddit" message.
