- alskdj21 2y agohttps://www.redditstatus.com/ https://www.redditstatus.com/ There's an outage currently. 3rd-party mobile clients (RedReader, Stealth) also won't load.

- distortedsignal 2y agoSaw that after posting this. I feel like a dumb.
- lowlevel 2y agoI for one don’t blame you for panic posting … so much is turning to shit these days…
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoThat account is a bot. Not an insult as it is a useful bot. But that is why they spotted it.
- gnabgib 2y agoI'm not a bot. Obviously a bot would be programmed to say that, but they wouldn't make my typos.
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoI suspect you are a human that also has a bot running on the same account name. If not you are using a tool. If not you are an avid digital archaeologist.
- gnabgib 2y agoYou should probably allay @hlloyd1925's fears you were accusing them. No automation, just sometimes paying attention.

- hlloyd1925 2y agoNo, just a new user.
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoDidn't mean you, sorry for the confusion.
- consumer451 2y agoDon't feel like a dumb. I am super paranoid about losing old.reddit. When I saw the "you broke reddit" page, this was also my first thought.
- Rzor 2y agoThat's awful. I only access Reddit through there. Let's hope it comes back. Back in 2023 Huffmann said that it would stay, but I guess that could somewhat go against their plan of inserting paywalls? We'll see. >P.S. old.reddit.com isn't going anywhere, and explicit content is still allowed on Reddit as long as it abides by our content policy.
- distortedsignal 2y agoLooks like it's back. False alarm. Sorry.
- distortedsignal 2y agoLooks like it's back. False alarm, everybody.
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoReddit down? Must be a day ending in y.
