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.
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.
Crazy coincidence?
Update: Seems to be back up!
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"
Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!
Probably an attempt to hide how many subs are private
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.
I was just getting spammed on modmail by someone minutes before the whole site went under. Another mod I talked to had precisely the same thing happen. Coincidence?
