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.

Probably an attempt to hide how many subs are private

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

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

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”

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.

Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!

I was just getting spammed on modmail by someone minutes before the whole site went under. Another mod I talked to had precisely the same thing happen. Coincidence?
