This morning, at around 7 a.m. PT, the social media platform Reddit experienced yet another outage after experiencing one yesterday afternoon. Thousands of users are currently unable to access its website and app. As of this writing, 51,221 users reported problems on Downdetector.com, up from the 47,000 users who reported problems yesterday.
According to its status page, Reddit says the platform is experiencing degraded performance.
A spokesperson told TechCrunch, “An update we made caused some instability. We reverted and are seeing Reddit ramp back up.”
We discovered the first outage yesterday when we attempted to visit the homepage, which displayed a black screen with the message: “Upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. Reset reason: connection failure.” On the iOS app, we only saw the dead Snoo head, Reddit’s alien mascot. The problem was solved four hours later.
This story was updated after publication to include Reddit’s comment.
