Reddit Admins taking part in blackout?

The mods have a man on the inside

I also noticed that the entire site seems to be down. I tried to go on there to scrub my posts and back up some stuff, and it wouldn’t even load my login.

Update: Seems to be back up!

I wonder if the huge amount of API denials due to private subs had some effect on the backend.

It’s just the site, 3rd party apps still work lol…

Edit: Partially. RIF works on r/all, but not the home page.

Probably an attempt to hide how many subs are private

From their statuspage:

“Reddit Failing to Load Identified - We’re aware of problems loading content and are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Jun 12, 2023 - 07:58 PDT”

Crazy coincidence?

Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!

Good.
