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
If you can't beat 'em... Fuck 'em!
Can I just say, I'm so happy that everybody banded together against them. Like a bunch of strangers on the internet grouping together to tell them, "No, you will not"
Some possibilities:
- Some fool thinks it's a good idea to DDoS Reddit today to make a point.
- Some Reddit admin thinks it's a good idea to take it offline deliberately to make a point.
- The general public are hugging it to death out of curiosity about the protest.
- Unrelated outage. Outages happen, sometimes even on the same day as other things.
we did it reddit
AND MY AXE!!!
To shreds you say?
Or we just let all those saying die with reddit, that’s a thought
The Fediverse is too new and decentralized to have its own sayings, so all we have is the memories of our old home. Besides, these sayings remind us of a better era of Reddit where it was just a bunch of techie weirdos asking each other "when does the narwhal bacon" and trying to bait newbies to click on /r/spacedicks. I still remember my first days on Reddit, when I was grounded from the family computer and stole my dad's laptop to browse. Someone linked /r/spacedicks and convinced me that it was the NASA memes subreddit. I clicked on it and was waiting for the page to load on the terribly slow wifi when my dad stormed into the room, furious that his laptop was missing, and proceeded to beat the shit out of me with a set of jumper cables. It hurts so much to see the site I grew up with be destroyed by corporate greed like that, but life goes on.
how long was it? i heard about it earlier but when i checked it worked fine
Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of uninformed users are getting blocked from subreddits and are constantly retrying.
