Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it’s not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here’s hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?
Maybe they’re doing “server maintenance” for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao
Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to “work reform” aka we like work and bosses are good!
no anti work believe no one should work and every should get paid for sitting on their asses, and work reform believes in giving workers what they want, such as higher pay, less hours, better benefits and things such as that.
EDIT: based on my ratio im not sure I want to continue on this site lmao, I have a feeling its just going to turn into another Voat if this shit keeps up
If it is deliberate, I’m pretty sure that’d be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they’d end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.
I’d assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I’m here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit … wonky on posting today with all us refugees.
It’s like… 28,000 mods. I don’t know how they’re gonna replace them. Of course they won’t have to replace all of them, but there’s still quite a sizeable lot.
It’s cloudflare. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
It’s taken down Reddit and also Kbin and Hacker News. Good for Kbin, gives them time to up their resources that isn’t their fault.
Kinda a hilarious timing really.
Kbin and Reddit being down proves that God is on Lemmy’s side. Its a sign from the Lord I tell ya.
Who cares. Lemmy is up.
Maybe, this is the day the CEO goes…“hmm, maybe I was wrong, and communities are important to reddit, and the value of free moderation far out weighs my API idiocy”, but probable not because CEO tend to be self centered, sociopaths so will most likely double down. Good let’s just move to lemmy and mastodon get federation working between them and get rid of centralized corporate internet that always screws their communities after we create the value.
Yup, there’s something going on. It’s down here too and I’ve already seen a number of posts on Lemmy about this.
