If it doesn't it sure feel that way. Around 12am to 2am Japan time there will be a period of time where I simply cannot access Reddit.
That's likely to be a routing problem, related to your ISP or something in between. Reddit really is not down that much.

Pointless speculation. Reddit has constant outages of this exact nature almost weekly. There's nothing special about this one.
Reddit definitely doesn’t have outages like this almost weekly. Maybe 10+ years ago, but it’s rare now.

I run into issues on occasion, usually with loading comments. I use the web interface. Interestingly, HN is being really slow for me right now and also gave an error when I first loaded it. Maybe something more global is going on, like network or cdn issues?
I'm also seeing HN being sluggish. But I have crap Australian internet so YMMV.
I had to reload this page 5 page until I was allowed to post a reply. Something is definitely going on.
Reddit being gone for a while actually makes me feel like the world is a better place. Somehow knowing even for a brief moment no one is there and I’m not missing out on anything makes me feel… more alive and excited to interact with the world. sounds bizarre I know… but I wish more social media shut down now.
For me, today is not only the day when the most of reddit is down but also web search experience is significantly degraded.
Pure speculation: With so many subs now private, they're hitting a performance wall searching for enough content to fill the front page. If I'm logged in and go to the site root, it throws an error. If logged out, it works. If I go to a specific (not privatized) sub, it works.

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
As for the forced reopening, beside the conspiracy this is something that could happen. It's a private company, moderator on strike are a loss of business, they would be 100% in their right to remove all the "traitors" (I'm not saying this would be a smart move, simply that if they really plan to go down this self destructive path it's the best time to do this and prove potential investor they still have control).
Pretty big blip for a lot of services https://downdetector.com/
yup, some type of shared cloud infrastructure is definitely having problems. Reddit is just what we noticed first.
