I suspect so, too. Crypto and dogecoin in particular is going crazy, driving masses of comments. And tech stocks (and much of the market) are having another terrible day.
Well, I guess it's back to Digg for us! Or maybe Google+?
Digg is actually very good nowadays. It turns out that hand curated content is just superior to a soup of low effort user generated garbage and AI curated click bait.
Thanks for the digg tip, haven't visited in years, looks good. Reddit still has great subreddits but it's so much harder to sift through the garbage these days.
Does anyone else thing there is space in the market for a place between hand curated content / aggregators?
For me it seems like people are really wanting more curation, especially because of the ever increasing torrent of low quality content.
Some kind of curation platform? It's like we went too far on the spectrum away from flow-TV towards "too much clicking and choosing", not sure if this is the case for younger demographics though.
I don't get the dogecoin rise.... i mean can't anyone easily mine unlimited coins so ...it'll always inflate again, it doesn't have "deflation" like bitcoin/ethereum because of limited supply.
While it can and does inflate. There is a reasonable calculation at the rate of inflation(e.g. they know approximately how many new coins will be mined per year)
So its priced on. And a lot of the spike and gains have been on too short of a time scale to be effected by it.
I don't understand, what's the relation or conspiracy here? The bulk of trading is done by WSB-types and reddit shuts down to cool them? Doesn't seem worth it since the overwhelming majority of users are probably not traders of anything.
It's nonsense, just people who see something happen once and continue to make nonsense assumptions. "Last time there was en eclipse my power went out, therefore the eclipse caused it"
What's the connection between RH, Citadel, and Doge? Yes, it happened during GME, but they had a vested interest as GME short sellers and no actual connection between them and reddit downtime was ever established.
Now we're talking about crypto and making the same assumptions. It's no different than all of the kids on reddit with 2 months experience in the market who now believe they can spot a short squeeze coming.
I think the suggestion is they're basically being Slashdotted. The platform seems to have issues particularly when a subcommunity suddenly becomes very active. Reddit is a very popular site, but is not usually subject to big spikey influxes of new visitors, just the regulars. So when a subreddit gets in the news big time (like with WallStreetBets) the site tends to crash.
Interesting, this seems different than other reddit outages I remember. Many of those seemed to only effect the app or the new interface but old.reddit.com continued to work. This seems to be everything offline, and it's already getting close to an hour totally down.
There was a similar outage a few weeks ago, where nothing worked either and it also took a "long" time to get everything back up and running. I never did check up what happened there.
Holy shit right it is Don guys this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen oh my God read it read it down ready to get rid of it down really does sound guys guys guys guys guys guys guys heard it is down holy shit is it is the Internet is going down the economy is collapsing and and and and and and and Trump is going to be president again in 2024 and the vaccine is leaky he doesn’t actually start Covid!
And this happens just as ManCity vs PSG is about to start, what fun is a CL semi-final without the chance to check the live match-thread on /r/soccer every 2 minutes?

People don’t stay new for long
