The Verge article:
So... According to Reddit the blackout is the culprit, I guess?
So either it's just an outage and they're faulting the blackout, or the blackout is actually the culprit. Either way I hope this works. However, I'm still not going back to Reddit even if they fix and reverse everything.
When a major sub goes private, that's an awful lot of posts and comments that they have to hide from the rest of the internet. I'm not surprised there's some excess load on their systems with lots of them doing it at once.
