A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's just the site, 3rd party apps still work lol...
The mods have a man on the inside
Great, more visibility to black out. Thanks reddit!
I also noticed that the entire site seems to be down. I tried to go on there to scrub my posts and back up some stuff, and it wouldn't even load my login.
Update: Seems to be back up!
I was just getting spammed on modmail by someone minutes before the whole site went under. Another mod I talked to had precisely the same thing happen. Coincidence?
Probably an attempt to hide how many subs are private
I wonder if the huge amount of API denials due to private subs had some effect on the backend.
From their statuspage:
"Reddit Failing to Load Identified - We're aware of problems loading content and are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Jun 12, 2023 - 07:58 PDT"
According to the status site, it looks like a major outage on all platforms. The Reddit twitter account even retweeted the status account about it.
Crazy coincidence?
