I was trying to browse the site, and I think it might be faced with a few problems.
Bro what the fuck happened to Reddit?

Bravo, I think this comment wins the internet for today.

Why did you take a screenshot of your entire desktop?
Why do you have Edge, Chrome, and Firefox? And all three pinned to the taskbar?
And if you're going to use Reddit on a browser, why on earth would you use anything but old.reddit?
Zidane 8 points 2 years ago
I use two separate browsers myself because Firefox doesn't have the ability (as far as I'm aware) to have two (or more) browsers with separate instances/icons for different profiles that are taskbar pinnable (separately)...
The most egregious thing OP has done however is centered their taskbar as well as left the search bar visible

That's Reddit for you
Anticorp 20 points 2 years ago
It's run by incompetent bastards. That's what happened to it. This is what happens when you have zero attachment to what you actually produce, and instead care only about the money. They'd light the servers on fire today if that paid slightly more money. They have zero concern for the value the site represents to humanity. Same for Facebook and Fuckerberg.

False!
Syntax error

Right so when AWS or Akamai goes down that’s the fault of their customers right?
Anticorp 1 point 2 years ago
AWS has insane uptime, and there are backup nodes all over the world. Reddit usually does something stupid with their code that causes outages. For a company with as much resources as they have, they should have way better disaster recovery in place.

Halt and set fire.

Yeah, just go ahead and erase that bookmark already.

Uriel_Copy 8 points 2 years ago
old.reddit still works. Shoulda not fixed what ain't broke
Anticorp 5 points 2 years ago
It doesn't really work any more. Any post with an image will just show you the image when you try to open the post, and there is a little button at the bottom that says "view post". If you click that button it tries to install the app. If you don't let it install the app then it takes you to the new site. Ugh, I can't even. I hate them so much!

This gave me hope that it would actually just be the image, not wrapped in reddit's viewer UI bullshit, in a sort of "task failed successfully" way. But no, you still get their nonsense wrapped around it. Why would anyone want to just look at an image when that's what they click on.
ccunning 2 points 2 years ago
That’s not been my experience.
This was the first post with an image I saw when I went to see if something had changed:
ccunning 1 point 2 years ago
Nope - I tested on mobile (iOS/ Safari)
Just so be clear, I was commenting that I haven’t had the issue you mentioned with image posts on old.reddit.com outside of today’s outage(s)

Is that Windows 11 or a very convincing KDE theme?
