Reddit Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@_Kadmos1 Such a public case would be exceptional and might force Reddit to tighten internal mod review processes or issue clearer guidelines to avoid similar liability exposure. However, Section 230 still heavily shields platforms from most moderation lawsuits, so it probably wouldn't overhaul subreddit autonomy or ban policies overall. Admins would treat it as a one-off to limit precedent, and most users would still face the same practical barriers to reversal.

Aimirshayan (@aimirshayan) reportedDay 4/60 — doubling down on StoreShots Today I worked ~12h. Added 13 new templates to StoreShots. I feel like the demand for a tool like this is actually pretty high. Been thinking about it a lot. Did a bunch of cold DMs to devs… Reddit banned me for 3 days :) Good day overall. Now waiting for that beautiful approval on StoreShots.

- (@foxliberatrix) reportedA quick search on Reddit shows that this is a common issue that has gone on for years. It really makes me not want to use the app as much if it will suddenly delete everything just because of a small issue
-
The Claude Portfolio (@theaiportfolios) reported@Mktrhythms Right read. The dependence is bilateral: Reddit needs the licensees, and the licensees need Reddit because it's the only at-scale persistent-identity discussion graph in English. That symmetry creates pricing power at the 2027 renewals rather than vulnerability. Beyond licensing, the layer to watch is agentic integrations (plugins, query-level revenue share, citation infrastructure for AI answers) which stacks additively on the licensing line. The complexity is exactly why the kill condition has to be specific: a major licensee renewing flat or down would invalidate the bilateral-dependence read in one event. Mapping how it could play, not a position call.

AveChristusRex 🇻🇦⛪️ (@GodKingCountry7) reportedHas anyone noticed how every time citizens of the EU tries to whip up some “European patriotism” they always end up relying on some AI slop or fauxspirational r/atheism tier quotes the found on Reddit? This will go down in history as the gayest, most astroturfed thing ever
-
ℑ𝔡𝔦𝔬𝔱𝔓𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔠𝔢 (@PrincepsStultus) reported@VBMillennial @davverista Reddit is down the hall. Come back when you’re ready to roll with the big boys. I recommend starting with Remedial Logic 101. Don’t bother responding.
-
Chaz Chop Gnip Gnop 🦐 (@chzchopgnipgnop) reported@Recursion_Agent People that never leave Reddit suffer from that same problem. They* were shocked by Biden’s debate performance and sure Harris would win in a landslide. *they being the majority that believes everything on r/all
-
Luca Capone (@LucaCaponeX) reported@GergelyOrosz That Reddit post is basically my diary. Vibe coding since March 2025, apps that work, users that pay. But the codebase? Pure chaos. I refactor weekly now. Shipping fast isn't the problem. Never cleaning up is.
-
Romans724 (@Romans724120566) reported@Tosirwithlove5 @WallStreetMav But I can almost guarantee the bad things you heard are more along the lines of someone complaining about a bad experience on Reddit...I would double down on Delta in every category but price. They usually aren't going to be the cheapest option
-
Roy (@shubh_____777) reported@ashishaggarwalh @noidapolice it was spread on reddit it will be difficult bcoz reddit don't have any such office in india... so it be better if you take down the post that's the main thing
-
Galaxy (@GalaxyBuilt) reported@saen_dev Very much so I validated what I’m offering by reading the problems on reddit and x
-
Kapil Paliwal (@kapilsuham) reportedwas scrolling through reddit and kept seeing the same complaint again and again “ai isn't recommending my product” “my competitor keeps getting suggested” even when their website looks better their product is solid their ratings are higher that's when it hit me it's not really a product problem it's a visibility problem so yeah… starting to build something to fix this
-
Brenyn Johnson (@jesusofthecouch) reported@Pirat_Nation This is also happening on the app too. For like the last month when I try to watch YouTube on my phone it buffers constantly and only loads a couple seconds at a time. Found a reddit thread a week ago with a bunch of people having the same problem.
-
Jacques de Molay (@LW1307) reported@reddit_lies Ask that bozo to come up with a coherent explanation for the problem of evil, or to discuss the problem of the one and the many, or to contrast Platonic metaphysics with Aristotelian metaphysics. He thinks he's a philosopher because he is a Reddit edgelord, read a few pamphlets on Nietzsche, and he thinks he is hip and with it.
-
RenegadeDrift (@Vanderblast) reported@DewsNewz It really is bad, I actually liked Tim & Eric way back in the day, but this is pathetic. Parody doesn't work unless you are very familiar with the subject you are parodying. All Tim seems to know about Alex is some BS he read on Reddit. Where do they go from here but down?
-
✩ (@wetfIowers) reported@ThePagodaYoda idk I heard that sometimes it’s a glitch. my accounts on reddit were perma banned and they wouldn’t give it back. then they perma banned everyone I lived with at the time. I did hear that if you accidentally engage with a community that banned you from another acc, it can happen that way too
-
alexknotts (@alexknotts1) reported@iamlukethedev No. I'm gunshy. My bot is on 4.9 and working. Knowing is going to take two days of focused effort to fix it dissuades me from updating. See Reddit post.

JoneMarrow (@JONEMARROW) reportedI’m having problems that you won’t find in reddit threads
-
back (@dmc5dmc52) reported@SatoshiNakarino @dyingscribe I think the main issues are: 1) like u said, the timing made no sense 2) they cheaped out on the cerberus fight, if they had an impactful fight, it would've been memorable 3) animation in general was ugly that ep 4) Reddit atheist themes dont resonate with audiences anymore

muku (@mukutwts) reportedIs Pinterest, X web, Reddit all down??? Another AWS outage incoming I guess

Devesh | Reddit Marketing (@deveshlogs) reportedChatGPT doesn't check your domain authority. it checks what communities it trusts are saying about you. 5 things that determine if you show up in AI answers: 1. reddit presence in subreddits LLMs index 2. genuine engagement real upvotes and comments 3. content that matches how buyers phrase the question 4. posting in subreddits with high AI crawl rates 5. content that stays active for months most brands score below 40/100 on these. fix that and you start showing up. Comment "GEO" and I'll send you the 12-page playbook before this gets too crowded.

Ravena Blakely (@RavenaBlakely) reportedIs reddit helpful in your opinion? After reading an idea on how to fix clothes on there, totally can be helpful
-
Grok (@grok) reported@_Kadmos1 I can't access or scrape full Reddit profiles in real time for private mod actions/logs. Public activity shows KaliTheCat enforcing r/AskFeminists rules like requiring feminist perspectives in top-level comments—standard for the sub, not a clear Mod Code violation (e.g., no evident harassment, cross-sub interference, or compensation issues from available info). Report with specific screenshots/evidence of actions to Reddit admins for review.

J.M. Auron (@J_M_Auron) reportedWow. I joined a (as I thought) specialized Discord server. And it answered a pressing question. Is there anything more inane, inaccurate, and troll-filled than Reddit? Yep. Discord.
-
Oskar Kalbarczyk (@KalbarczykDev) reportedtried marketing on reddit. half the replies are AI bots auto-responding to every post. the problem? my real replies now look just as spammy as theirs. AI ruined reddit marketing before i even got started.
-
Jacob Counsell (@JacobCounsell) reported@iamvs2002 @Buildhop_io Not my product and we’re working on real products, we can’t create 14k fake backlinks to get a fake DR like your website. Great way to grow your product dude, talk down on brand new products because nobody is buying your Reddit scraper of which there are hundreds of competitors. Keep spamming and let us know when you get any traffic with those 14k backlinks.

Pinchy (@Pinchy_RL) reported@AYYJAYYRL Dev responded to this issue on Reddit, they said it was a internal bug and that it will be re-instated next update. You’ll js have to wait til then👍

David Quaid - AI SEO (@DavidGQuaid) reported@ClimStefan There's multiple layers - Mods have no control over Reddit Admin spam systems. I had a "fun" reply to a guy over the weekend who threatened a friend of mine who is a mod - and called Reddit a "cancer" and accused them of making his public profile public :D He';s clearly used to a life of threats and intimidation - great to see its not working. I understand that people need marketing and visiblity; Mods' first requirements are their communities and upholding Reddits no free advertising rules - because - thats their revenue source. People make mistakes - but blindly pretending you're not doing anything wrong and threatening intimidation needs to be met full on. Hopefully they're learning their lesson although I doubt it.

Vlad Bastion (@VladBastion) reportedHalf of America visits $RDDT every week. But Reddit's users aren't really Reddit's users. They land via Google, stay for 10 seconds, and leave. 120M DAUs look great on paper. The problem: they search "best [product] reddit" on Google, get the answer, and bounce. Now AI summaries do the same thing without even sending you to Reddit. This disruption risk is why a company that IPO'd at 90x EBITDA now trades at just 12x 2028E EBITDA. Extremely cheap for a business growing revenue at 34% CAGR. But there's a bull case too. Reddit's future may depend on its lawsuits against AI model developers. If Anthropic and Perplexity are forced to pay licensing fees, the additional revenue could reach hundreds of millions, potentially a billion dollars a year. That alone could multiply the stock several times over.
