This is hardly newsworthy. Reddit is frequently unstable.

That being said, after blocking reddit and a few other websites for the entire day (thanks selfcontrol.app), I was looking forward to browse and relax... aaaaand it's down.

Yup, it sure is. I'm getting a 504 Gateway Timeout. Oh well, HN is better anyway. ;-)

I just tested from VPNs in Europe/US/Asia: Down from all three locations (with zero cookies).

Until you need to look for some technical information and web search brings you to Reddit, which is currently down. :(

Interestingly, their status page shows mostly green and "Operational" (albeit along with telltale spikes in backlogs and a drop in requests):

https://www.redditstatus.com/

This is the specific part on their status page for the outage

Just now: "Identified - reddit.com is currently down. A fix has been identified and is in the process of being applied.

Dec 10, 14:04 PST"

What's newsworthy about this?

I wonder: is it possible for reddit.com to go down without teddit.net also going down? (I didn’t test while reddit was down, both are up by now).

Now it's back up.
