Are the reddit admins incompetent or are they also joining the protest? Place your bets here!

EDIT: Looks like they're back.

I honestly wonder if it's an attempt to hide all the privated subs and the messages they have on their private page. Now instead of seeing what's going on its just "oh guess reddit down"

It could be an obfuscation for the drop in overall traffic for sure, but that's pretty transparent if they try that sort of thing.

Reddit hasn't been known for subtly as of late.

If there is no Reddit, there is no statistic on how severe the user drop is due to the subs that went private. That’s probably better for the IPO.

But wouldn't the modders response be "well, we'll just extend the boycott for another day or two"?

Honestly seems pretty likely, it's got to be pretty bad press for them with so many subs going private.
