Chances Reddit did this on purpose to hide the content blackout?
u/Spez will just put the blame on Christian again (Apollo's dev).
But on a little more serious note, I doubt this is on purpose. This would look really bad for the credibility of the platform, there is a LOT of users that just want to keep doomscrolling Reddit and in all honesty don't give a spez(fuck) about what's going on with the protests.
But... if this is on purpose...
Strange decision to say the least.
From what I've been following, they haven't been too concerned about this since at least a few weeks ago
I know and agree with you on that.
But for the majority of the userbase, one thing is to have some of their favorite subreddits joining a protest, the other is having their whole experience affected.
My money is on a DDoS attack. DDoS attacks are 100% going to happen after what Spez pulled.
That's what I thought first because their infrastructure seems to be shit.
My wife and I were talking about this 2 days ago. She was betting money that weโd see DDoS attacks early Monday.

I'm 99% sure those are automated, so it really doesn't say anything.
Doubt it

The other messages are not the same and an automated response would be posted faster.
Interesting, hopefully that's the case instead of something more... stupid from Reddit. I sincerely hope this is just the community protesting in some way.
