THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN
Aggressive techno noises
Strong Bad at his finest
The Cheat is grounded!
“Ok guys, if we take the site down they can’t have a blackout: It’s brilliant!”

Big brain move
We did it, reddit!
…wait, fuck. Lemmy!
Thanks for your good punctuation.
we are reddit in some ways
We’re more reddit than reddit
In all the ways that matter, the users and quality content are its heart. Take that away and it’s more like UnDeadit.
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 :(.
Replacing them all with automod

how long was it? i heard about it earlier but when i checked it worked fine
About an hour.
While I was reading through this, I had a pop-up saying “report created”. I didn’t press anything to report; I only gave upvotes. So, apologies to who/what was reported. 😖
same thing happened to me on another post! Not sure what I clicked…
Its been having issues for days. I discovered as much while deleting all my old post and comments.
It’s funny that it works normally on Apollo for me 😎
What is this reddit? i only know lemmy ;)
Is it possible someone launched a DDoS attack against Reddit?
LMFAOI think it’s ridiculous that it’s actually the sub blackout that killed Reddit today. How can this happen?
See TheVerge: “Reddit crashed because of the growing subreddit blackout”
It’s back up again… DANG!
Edit: And DOWN again lmao
Good to know that Reddit can be killed for an entire afternoon any time the community wants by coordinating the use of basic site functions.

Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
I hope the major subs stay dark. The only thing keeping reddit afloat is moderators. Without tools the mods would need full time paid positions which is never going to happen. I’d like to see them all burn. Its become a shit show of adds and bots now anyway. Good riddance. I wish someone would incorporate freenets web of trust system to some type of decentralized app like this.
Could they not replace the mods? In the end, don’t they own the subreddits? Who owns the intellectual property?
They’d have to find people as enthusiastic. Quality would likely drop.
