Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subs
i.imgur.com
Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it's not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here's hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?

Maybe they're doing "server maintenance" for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao
"Server maintenance" while they replace all the mods with scabs.
Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to "work reform" aka we like work and bosses are good!
no anti work believe no one should work and every should get paid for sitting on their asses, and work reform believes in giving workers what they want, such as higher pay, less hours, better benefits and things such as that.
EDIT: based on my ratio im not sure I want to continue on this site lmao, I have a feeling its just going to turn into another Voat if this shit keeps up
Ah whining about downvotes, now I feel right at home!
at least you get to see controversial entries get both upvotes and downvotes rather than the net number only. helps for better discussion.
Yes. The spirit of reddit truly is still alive over here.
Literally the two subs are identical in content posted for the last several months
I agree work reform was slipping but it was not even close to the communist mess that is AntiWork. I've seen posts on AntiWork with hundreds of upvotes about burning down walmarts to send a message.
It's funny they chose that tactic to promote, seeing as walmart corporate will do all but burn the building down whenever there's a successful union drive or anything that looks like it could manifest one. They'll close the store indefinitely for 'cleaning', toss any spoiled inventory, and hire an all new crew. So not quite burning it down, but they'll definitely footgun themselves to prevent any worker choice. Burning it down would do all the work for them.

...Or the people on r/antiwork are here as well and downvoted you for a very bias post to their members?
Like what did you think would happen? This would happen on Reddit as well unless you were on a subreddit that specifically supported your stance.
There is nothing biased about that post. The initial group of r/antiwork was against working at all. With more people joining that shifted to the more reasonable "work needs a major, worldwide reform because being treated like shit for fifty decades to then not have enough pension to survive is fucked up"
Work Reform was then created because of "that" interview, it had nothing to do with cozying up to companies or bosses.
Yeah you just verified my edit thank you
What does Voat mean in this case then? It's just like Reddit really.
You mean reddit will be like Voat? Voat is gone. You can't sustain a platform on extremism alone
