"Ok guys, if we take the site down they can't have a blackout: It's brilliant!"
-Spez probably
We did it, reddit!
...wait, fuck. Lemmy!
Thanks for your good punctuation.
we are reddit in some ways
In all the ways that matter, the users and quality content are its heart. Take that away and itβs more like UnDeadit.
We're more reddit than reddit
Reddit 2.0
Lemmy for president!!
Who the fuck is Lemmy?
They're likely changing the mod structure during the blackout. A lot of low-paid, repurposed bangladeshi click-farm mods coming in.
Reddit? Paying mods? As if.
They've gone 15 years not paying mods for their work. They're not about to start now, especially if they're concerned about costs.
Not paying mods gave them an out to not be a publisher.
If your company is the one doing the moderation, then you become responsible for what is on your website, and that means spez would have to get rid of the Nazis :(.

Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
While I was reading through this, I had a pop-up saying βreport createdβ. I didnβt press anything to report; I only gave upvotes. So, apologies to who/what was reported. π
same thing happened to me on another post! Not sure what I clicked...
THE SYSTEM... IS DOWN THE SYSTEM... IS DOWN
Aggressive techno noises

I've used rif and old.reddit respectively for so long that I really had no idea how much of a shitshow the ui had turned in too until I checked it out through the official app and new layout style in browser.
No fucking thank you, take your glitter shit and constant ad pushing and jump off a cliff.
The first ad that popped was a promoted post for machine gun kelly. I listen to grindcore, crossover, metal, etc.. That sealed its fate in my eyes.
for years companies have been trying for βtargeted adsβ but in rare occasions I see ads, theyβre terribly off the mark, like you have mentioned
Companies have been trying and succeeding with targeted ads*
There's a reason a bunch of the biggest tech companies in the world's main revenue is these ads, they absolutely work unfortunately.

Reddit really trying to copy lemmy now
Yeah, seems like a bunch of instances getting the ol' death hug right now
Reddit free tier usage reached
drink a verification can of {product placement} to continue
we did it reddit
AND MY AXE!!!
To shreds you say?
Or we just let all those saying die with reddit, thatβs a thought
This is basically a wake. Allow us to reminisce.
The Fediverse is too new and decentralized to have its own sayings, so all we have is the memories of our old home. Besides, these sayings remind us of a better era of Reddit where it was just a bunch of techie weirdos asking each other "when does the narwhal bacon" and trying to bait newbies to click on /r/spacedicks. I still remember my first days on Reddit, when I was grounded from the family computer and stole my dad's laptop to browse. Someone linked /r/spacedicks and convinced me that it was the NASA memes subreddit. I clicked on it and was waiting for the page to load on the terribly slow wifi when my dad stormed into the room, furious that his laptop was missing, and proceeded to beat the shit out of me with a set of jumper cables. It hurts so much to see the site I grew up with be destroyed by corporate greed like that, but life goes on.

But do we know why it was down? If it was something like a ddos (or claimed to be) this could be used to vilify the protestors.

Some possibilities:
- Some fool thinks it's a good idea to DDoS Reddit today to make a point.
- Some Reddit admin thinks it's a good idea to take it offline deliberately to make a point.
- The general public are hugging it to death out of curiosity about the protest.
- Unrelated outage. Outages happen, sometimes even on the same day as other things.
