Its been having issues for days. I discovered as much while deleting all my old post and comments.

[–] F1nn@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Lol, imagine your site crashing during it's lowest utilization in years.

LMFAO

[–] vocornflakes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh the site is like DOWN down

[–] Rick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lmao, its not like the site is being overloaded right now as half the site is private, they are doing this shit on purpose

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

even reddit is protesting it's own shit CEO

seems unlikely (to me) that this would be intentional from reddit's side. You'd think they would be VERY interested to see how this really impacts site traffic and how much "protest" they can absorb before taking administrative action against mods/subreddits.

Given the degree of ... social awareness... They've displayed, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone at Reddit simply thought "this is the perfect time for maintenance!" and they ran with it 😂

I mean, if I was a reddit infra engineer (and this is a long shot because I'm not), I would definitely use the "blackout day(s)" for some heavy maintenance or experiments that normally are too scary to do on a high loaded live server.

(edit: spelling)

[–] somefool@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Webdev here. When I am blessed with a "we are closed" day on some clients' websites, I drop everything else so I can get some database cleanup in.

[–] Jitterydork@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's back up again... DANG!

Edit: And DOWN again lmao

Is it possible someone launched a DDoS attack against Reddit?

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Can't be, Reddit relies on its userbase to ensure everything is running smooth...oh wait LOL
