Interesting to see how large the spike is [0] when new reddit seems to be just fine! [0] https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/

What I'd give to see their dashboard showing how many users are still using old reddit...

Totally. Although since my previous comment, the official status page has been updated to mention issues with some non-Old components: "Native Mobile Apps" "Vote Processing" "Comment Processing" so I suppose the DownDetector spike is an unknown combination of people using Old and people using those other things. I assume New web/desktop reddit is able to operate when those functions are degraded by reading from stale cache / faraway regions / other fallbacks, while Old reddit is more directly coupled to those degraded functions.
