I want to say this without any implied sneering or arrogance, I am sure keeping a site like Reddit up must be monumentally hard and I don't think I could do a better job at all, but isn't it down quite often compared to other sites of its stature? Reddit is in the top 10 US websites, I don't seem to experience as many outages with the others. Is it a funding issue?

They have 99.9% uptime most months. You may just notice it because you use it more?

For what it's worth, I have not found Reddit's status page to be accurate. They seem to have a lot of localized issues that make the site unusable for a small subset of users, but don't get reported as global downtime.

For the last day or so Reddit's been having glitches where posts and comments often end up posted 5 or so times. I imagine this is related.

Who has the ability to DDoS reddit?

Maybe it's the US government trying to squelch discussion of the UFOs

Reddit’s redesign - not a strict DDoS but it has the same effect. (And not everyone knows to go to old.reddit for the traditional SSR pages)

The two communities have surprisingly different cultures (despite having high content overlap).
