Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Hänz Solo (@culture_warz) reported@reddit_lies Reddit dictionary meaning in 2126 Reddit: a colab site in the early 21st century, located on the internet where the very weakest of men were able to communicate freely. It was shut down when the FBI raided all the mods simultaneously in a sweeping lollicon investigation.

noragami (@beelzebub100) reported@chixxsays Try posting in insta. In x posting these things can give legal trouble because here a bluetick accounts get money for post. So legal issues will be common. You can do it by quoting from reddit or other platform.

Failure is an option (@FarmingWithYHWH) reported@TexasAnCap Correct, also Reddit has become a non issue since IP ban most VPNs.

aintnobody⁷ (@aintnobodykm) reportedPpl be dragging HW back and forth, “exposing” his gf on Reddit and uploading her old pics to bring her and HW down. Also saying all the nastiest **** about her. Now there’s mysterious acc that allegedly co-belongs to him. Never happened before, but here we are again, right?

AdventuringBear (@BearAdventuring) reported@RealMrKraken I should note that my Org has said that maybe we should take down your link in my Discord to show solidarity with the Reddit Mods ;) But in all seriousness, you deserve all the follows, likes, and loves!

Smallafro (@SmallafroVYBE) reportedI usually don’t go on the Reddit so I don’t spoil the memes I’m going to react to, but it’s gotten sloppy lately and I want to fix that
-
7! (@MilknLasers) reported@loyal_cskian @Beast_xx_ I said the same in the csk sub edit in reddit when Ayush got injured and I got 200 down votes. Only CSK's sub edit is the most spineless subedit on reddit where a criticism on management leads to being down voted. Any other page will accept that but ours won't.

Luftwagün (@luftwagun) reported@Tittieboi4U @axios 5th post down in your feed is a literal paid lsraeli asset. You didn't think this though at all. The after that captive dreamer, Gunther eaglemen, benny johnson. >Deplorable 2016 reddit coded. Only a foreigner would think this is some sort of based lingo. Gotcha Moshe.

Sule' (@SuleBSF) reportedI went down a rabbit hole on reddit and there’s a sub on there about lions mane and how that **** is equivalent to how crack destroyed america in the 80’s, i’m baffled
-
AM Pines (@AM_Pines) reported@HarryVNoir @esoteric_joke @falseroxy I agree with both of these takes. And if you read the threads on Reddit, it's nearly always a poor relationship issue or a dead bedroom so there's something larger at play here between the folks that porn is the direction where they go to blame versus the people themselves.

Daniel Oyegoke (@daniel_oyeee) reportedSpent the morning answering a real estate agent’s question on Reddit about open house follow-up. The answers most agents give: respond fast, text don’t call, follow up 5–9 times, be specific not generic. All true. But none of it is actually the problem. The real issue is that agents don’t follow up consistently on leads that didn’t feel hot in the first 24 hours. Open house attendee who chatted for 3 min then left? Gets 1 text, no reply, abandoned. Zillow lead who came in at 9pm Saturday? Voicemail Monday morning, no callback, abandoned. Callback an agent promised three weeks ago? Tuesday came and went, forgotten, abandoned. These aren’t lost leads. They’re abandoned leads. There’s a difference. Lost means you tried and didn’t win. Abandoned means you stopped trying. Industry data says most lead conversions happen between touch 5 and touch 9. Most agents stop at touch 1 or 2. So most agents are quitting in the exact range where the money actually is. The cruel part, the leads that didn’t seem hot at first are the ones with the longest decision timelines and the biggest payoff. The hot ones either close fast or move to another agent fast. The lukewarm ones come back in month 3, month 5, month 8, but only if someone stayed in touch. Brokerages don’t have a lead problem. They have a Lead Leakage problem. And most of the leakage happens not at first contact, but at touch 3, 4, 5; where every other agent has already given up. Fixing that gap @ORVNlabs

Official Layoff (@LayoffAI) reportedAMAZON DOING SILENT LAYOFFS RIGHT NOW 🚨 No CEO memo. No press release. No WARN Act filing. Just employees showing up on Reddit saying their roles were eliminated. A lot of them. This is exactly what @PlumbNick predicted in October 2025. Amazon announced 30,000 cuts. Backlash was massive. They walked it back to 14,000. Still too loud. His words: "I'd A/B test the message and fine-tune the balance all the way down until Americans have nothing left." Now in May 2026, they seem to have found the formula. Say nothing. Eliminate roles quietly. Keep each site under 100 cuts so WARN Act never triggers. No filing means no public record. No record means no headline. Do we know 100% they are doing this? No, and that is the point. The WARN Act requires 60-day notice for mass layoffs. But if you stagger the cuts, spread them across sites, and never use the word "layoff," you never technically trigger it. Is it legal? The law says deliberate structuring to avoid thresholds is a violation. But enforcement is through private lawsuits, and the penalty is 60 days back pay. For Amazon, that's a rounding error. Meanwhile, they are the #1 abuser of H-1B in the entire country since 2017.

Doav (@SodaNachos) reportedI’ve spent 15+ years inside paid ads. Meta. Google. Microsoft. TikTok. LinkedIn. Pinterest. Reddit. Amazon. Trade Desk/DSP. StackAdapt. Outbrain/Taboola. PropellerAds. TrafficJunky. Some I’m forgetting. Across: Lead gen. Ecommerce. Finance. Real estate. Travel & hospitality. SaaS. And more. High-volume campaigns. Small ugly campaigns. Campaigns that scaled. Campaigns that looked good and quietly burned money. My X account is where I share the practical stuff I’ve learnt: • why ads fail • how creative actually gets tested • how funnels leak money • why “more traffic” is rarely the fix • what founders misunderstand about paid growth • how to think about CPL, CAC, lead quality and conversion No guru stuff. No fake screenshots. No “scale to 7 figures in 30 days.” Just useful paid ads lessons from someone who has been in the accounts.

🌼Charon🌸 (@CharonsSails) reported@LibraryofLewd @LilithLovett Nah the reddit largely disavowed by the community (to the point there’s like 4 alternatives, the maincord, the companion app server, SEF, FA, a large coalition of places full of people who disavow the Reddit on premise) allegedly did that, and diff 10 is mad easy.

DVB (@DeepValueBagger) reported@DumbMoneyCapitl For those who knows him well, he pumps stocks up and get people to follow him in reddit. Now he does the same thing on iren and qs. And within his community. Like real degen posts. I'm suprised the sec didnt come down on him. It's not just a tech company

RYMAR (@rymaaaar) reportedTHIS GUY MADE $34,000 SELLING AI-POWERED PIGEON DEFENSE SYSTEMS FROM HIS BALCONY, LOL pigeons kept nesting on his balcony in Berlin. he tried spikes. he tried nets. he tried that plastic owl every german hardware store sells. so he built a turret. posted the build on reddit. woke up to 280 DMs from people with the same problem. three months later he has 47 units shipped across germany, austria and the netherlands. €580 per unit. waitlist sitting at 110 people. here’s how it works: 1\ camera captures video in real time 2\ an AI vision model identifies the pigeon 3\ a water gun mounted on servo motors turns toward it 4\ sprays the pigeon automatically no harm. no chemicals. no neighbor complaints. the build: Orange Pi 5 running the detection model a disassembled electric battery-driven water gun USB camera 2 servo motors for aiming resistors and a transistor to trigger the water gun total bill of materials: $140. assembly time: 90 minutes per unit. the detection model runs YOLO World v2 on the Rockchip 3588’s built-in NPU. no cloud. no subscription. no monthly fees that scare off the buyer. the best part is it’s not limited to pigeons. open vocabulary detection lets you reprogram the target to any object. squirrels, cats, raccoons, the seagull that keeps stealing your croissant. three of his customers asked for a version that targets their neighbor’s cat. he’s working on the disclaimer. fully automated. runs 24/7. ships in a custom-printed box that says “no birds were harmed in the making of this product.” the pigeons haven’t changed. he just started charging for the silence.

Random Person (@hellothere61737) reported@twinstar I watched this show at the end of 2024 without looking at fandom. I loved the character in both seasons and despite writing issues (there could be improvement) I thought he was still decently developed. I go onto TG Reddit... I felt gaslit. I never returned to the sub again lol.
