Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subs

3 years ago by globalboy70 to c/lemmyworld

Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it's not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here's hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?

Maybe they're doing "server maintenance" for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao

"Server maintenance" while they replace all the mods with scabs.

Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to "work reform" aka we like work and bosses are good!

If it is deliberate, I'm pretty sure that'd be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they'd end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.

I'd assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I'm here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit ... wonky on posting today with all us refugees.

Monday, no long weekend, 10 EDT, perfect time to do maintenance.

Messaging doesn't currently support that at all though.
