That's awful. I only access Reddit through there. Let's hope it comes back. Back in 2023 Huffmann said that it would stay, but I guess that could somewhat go against their plan of inserting paywalls? We'll see.

>P.S. old.reddit.com isn't going anywhere, and explicit content is still allowed on Reddit as long as it abides by our content policy.

Looks like it's back. False alarm, everybody.

Reddit down? Must be a day ending in y.
