Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?

There are a few options off the top off my head

  1. the route/connection between the monitoring and you is OK; between the company and the monitoring is OK; but between you and the company is not OK -- this means that, so far as the monitoring can tell, the site is up.
  2. The status checks run at some interval and you're hitting it before that interval
  3. There's some threshold of errors that needs to happen first so tiny hiccups don't register as full-blown outages.
  4. the monitoring/metrics are poorly-designed

There are probably other cases. I don't know the architecture in this case, so I won't speculate at any others.

Maybe it's not automated and whoever is responsible isn't awake yet.

Yeah, I thought of that a few minutes later and was too lazy to edit. I also thought maybe it's semi-auto and someone needs to verify it manually before allowing the UI to show
