Much like online video games, websites like Reddit occasionally suffer from downtime and maintenance as well. Many are asking the question, and Reddit has given an answer. In this post, I will discuss if Reddit is down, who is affected by the downtime if rumors are true, and what could be the reason it’s down at this time.
Is Reddit Down for Everyone?
Yes, Reddit is down for all users across the globe. Reddit has confirmed this on all its social media platforms and on its status page. As of now, they are working on the issue with haste but have not confirmed the amount of downtime users will experience.

Reason for Reddit Downtime
The reason confirmed for the downtime is due to some of the subreddit communities going dark, which is being referred to as the “blackout.”. These subreddit communities are protesting against Reddit’s new third-party app changes made in recent times.
It is believed that June 11 and 12 are the dates on which many subreddits will go dark, if not all. Going dark means these Reddit communities have set themselves as private. This change to private, or blackout period, is set to last for 24–48 hours, or even longer.
