    I’d keep an eye on the moderator lists. I can imagine they use the “downtime” to conceal that they are replacing mods.

    better to have the site be down with tech issues than to see the site like it is. though also, they are also surprisingly incompetent. I would not be shocked if the code or config they have makes assumptions about prods state things like:

    • most reddits esp top subs wont go offline for more than a short time
    • a regular stream of usage of ~40m+ users per day

    could be many more “we don’t know what we are doing” reasons too

    Such a bad look on top of an already bad situation, of their own making no less. Unless it’s just taking time for context, but they aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt that’s for sure.
