Reddit has been going through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms.

According to Reddit, the blackout is responsible for the problems. “A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.

Too much load? Reddit is down.

Not enough load? Believe it or not, also down.

This comment is so good an upvote won’t do justice (without awards, a classic comment such as this now has some merit.. it’s a new day boys & girls, a good day)

If Beehaw offered awards I would actually buy them, at least the money would be going towards keeping the lights on for a project that isn't actively trying to screw over users for profit.
