There was so much media coverage and notifications around it. I can't believe so many people were blindsided!

You're giving humans too much credit the vast majority are idiots. Probably me included.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

No they are just busy living their lives. They are not following reddit events. Maybe that seems weird to someone who constantly follows it, but the absolute majority have other things going on in their lives.

Good for them I guess. :)

That's wild. Didn't most of the apps release notifications in advance, through the app interface? It's possible Reddit actually is having outages, as well as having cut off third party apps, though I am not going to check.

I'm surprised that anyone wouldn't have known..

Clearly you've never had to work in customer support. People take "ignorance is bliss" to heart.

[-] kraken@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

You caught me. Never worked customer support a day in my life!

I mean, this is funny but at the same time sad

[-] inode@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I imagine these were the same people complaining about their favorite subreddits being closed. Completely clueless over what was happening right in front of them.

That's honestly kinda sad :( At least I had weeks to prepare for it..

[-] illidian@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

What is the reason for all these outage reports?

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

These reports are manual btw. It's implied as much all over the thread, but no one explicitly said that reddit isn't actually down, this is just people who think it is.

[-] 70ms@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

It's when most of the third party apps stopped working forever due to the API changes.
