I wish that we could all migrate to something new, just as swiftly as it happend with digg. It seemed like it took just days. Reddit is long overdue to die.
Today is just one of those tech news days. OpenAI, Facebook and a major outage of a popular website.
Exciting times!
Every time this happens I make a stupid joke about how it never used to fall over before Elon took over and fired all the staff. It wasn't even funny the first time, but it feels like the appropriate response.
Reddit seemingly has more outages than any other social media company. What is going on in their infrastructure? It's been like this since I've been using it. It must be unfixable or leadership has their priorities way out of line.
reddit is down, circleci is down, our own AWS infra seems to still be up across all regions (at least the ones we deploy to), jira and slack are working, downdetector reportings lots of outages all over...definitely a perplexing mass outage.
HN - status page of the web (even if it is extremely slow right now, guessing it's getting hugged).
Surely unrelated but Disney finally decided to go after the MarvelStudiosSpoilers subreddit.
Quick, hire more UI designers!!!
Mastodon.social is down as well. Maybe all the bored Redditors went to see if Mastodon still existed? Or maybe one of the Clouds is having an outage?
The first victim of GPT4
Dish Network has been down three weeks now...
I don't mind the outages so much, but why is the site so slow most of the time? Even the old.reddit.com site is slow. Is there no incentive to optimize the serving infrastructure?
Now time to post memes on hacker news (Dang that was a joke.. your doctor paid me $20 to mess up your stress test numbers)
HN seemed to be having issues earlier, but I speculate it may have been overflow from people who couldn't be on reddit.
I wonder if it is only reddit, or if there is a cloud service that is acting up. AWS shows green across the board, but hasn't their status page been unreliable in the past?
After a few hours I am now getting the error message "Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 2 column 1" (I use libreddit so it might be different for you). I wonder what is going on over there.
Been pretty bad all day. Great for my productivity, they should mess up more.
Quick, someone post their JavaScript contraption as a service startup idea!
I thought the libreddit instance I was using was down and then I went to another instance, then another, …, and another, and finally thought “maybe Reddit is down?”
I lost power due to wind (SF Bay Area) right around when the site went down. I wonder if some of their remote developers are in a similar situation?
Well, okay, but when I clicked on the comments link, I was told that HN was down too.
This is Big Tech's way to protest against further rate hikes.
And Reddit will be fine, just like Twitter.

The best outcome for humanity at large would be if it never came back.
> Welcome back!
You are already logged in and will be redirected back to Reddit shortly.
Then..
> Something went wrong. Just don't panic.
Don't worry Reddit! I am OK. I hope you.. don't panic :)
This is great I was in the middle of a pretty nasty argument and now it'll just stop
