The mods have a man on the inside

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

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

I wonder if the huge amount of API denials due to private subs had some effect on the backend.

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

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!

Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!

Reddit Admins taking part in blackout?

I was just clicking on a Reddit link from Google and was hoping that sub wasn’t privatised, turns out the website is down lol.
