Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That’s a rather specific “server error”…
I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified “error” right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn’t load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics” (marked as “off-topic”).
Im having trouble even getting to reddit. I also left when I noticed they were censoring real news.
Define “real news”.
(Conspiracy theories don’t count).
Uh, the post about Elon influencing reddit was enough for me. Thats news. That was censored. So I left.
I’ve seen like 2-3 posts about it with thousands of upvotes that have been up for the last 12 hours or so. Aside from that news, there’s still tons of top posts shitting on Elon. Granted, I do find it very sus that there aren’t more post about the Elon Reddit news.
I saw they put some articles up now. I will check reddit, but its not gonna be my go to. I just have a bad taste in my mouth about spez.
