What is this reddit? i only know lemmy ;)
Lemmy is love
Lemmy is life
Readdit, never even heard it
“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 it’s 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 :(.
Replacing them all with automod
u/Spez-autoGPT joined to the thread.
Hopefully they culled his comments from before roughly 2014 or they’re gonna have a whole new problem on their hands.
Big brain move
Check. and. mate.

I wonder if anarchychess has a community yet?
Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
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…
THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN THE SYSTEM… IS DOWN
Aggressive techno noises
Strong Bad at his finest
The Cheat is grounded!
one of the few ringtones i still keep on my phone
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.
I actually prefer when the ads are targeted but wrong. It shows me they don’t know me as well as they could. Also if I’m not interested they aren’t distracting
for years companies have been trying for “targeted ads” but in rare occasions I see ads, they’re 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.
Same here. I’ve been using old.reddit with RES and apollo for so long that I forgot reddit even had ads until I tried the official app.
Same, RiF + old. FTW TBH, really liking Lemmy ❤️
how long was it? i heard about it earlier but when i checked it worked fine
About an hour.
Webpage is still down for me - ironically Boost for Reddit seems to work fine
It’s my fault apparently
Always hated that image on the error page. Blaming the user when they are the ones that fucked up. Server errors are never the users fault
I think it’s pretty funny and I’m sure it’s just a joke. It’s hardly actually blaming users, imo.
Reddit free tier usage reached
drink a verification can of {product placement} to continue
Reddit really trying to copy lemmy now
Yeah, seems like a bunch of instances getting the ol’ death hug right now
its a reddit psyop so you go and check and bump the numbers up. stay woke.
kek idk, i tried to go in to check which of my fave subs were private and it was ded, and i remembered “ah right i was supposed to not go in today” and closed the app. this happened a few times. i use it more as a reminder not to visit.
reminder that most ppl leave in the first 3-5 seconds if a page doesn’t load fast enough, ppl have very short attention spans statistically. if it’s a “psyop” it’s a pretty bad one cuz they will lose a shitton of ad views this way.
5d chess friend, they’re operating on levels we can’t even comprehend. give me a few hours and I’ll think of some bullshit to explain it.
lmao
“they ate cyanide and threw their servers into a river, how’s that an ad campaign?”
“they wish their spirits to live on to be rich in the afterlife! people will consider them heroes and their families will be the wealthiest in the world! in fact, it was probably their family who made them do this, and also they’re probably not dead but in argentina running the Reddit Foundation to grab some condescention points to live well without paying taxes!”
Is it possible someone launched a DDoS attack against Reddit?
It’s back up again… DANG!
Edit: And DOWN again lmao
LMFAO
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.
