For me it looks like the "old" reddit design is especially affected by the outage. "new.reddit.com" works fine for me.

Let's be honest here...Reddit is _always_ experiencing a partial outage...

"just roll it back" /s

Anybody want to guess root cause?

Do we have a "root cause" bingo card?

DNS

Database

What else are super likely?

I noticed after last week’s “don’t be cute” discussion the error page stopped saying “you broke Reddit” and switched to a generic 503-sounding message

What is reddit and why would anyone go there?

One way they appear to be managing load is randomly banning users.

I've never had a report against me, I never post anything remotely spicy, I never even argue or flame. I moderated multiple subs.

And yet my 9-year, paid Reddit Gold account was randomly nuked. No explanation. Appeals denied. Support emails never answered.

I guess if your servers can't keep up, one way to cope is to just ban the folks who contribute the most to your site?

Only partial?

Now how will I look at porn while I’m supposed to be working?
