Reddit Breaks Old.reddit.com

Looks like the end is here. Old.reddit.com no longer works, so it is time to say goodbye to Reddit for good.

Yeah, OP is overly dramatic, Reddit has technical issues all the time.

All of reddit is now down. Maybe new reddit survived a few minutes off of some sort of cache?

Yes. New reddit is working, but old reddit cannot access subreddits or posts...
I hope this is temporary.

Interesting to see how large the spike is [0] when new reddit seems to be just fine!

What I'd give to see their dashboard showing how many users are still using old reddit...

Totally. Although since my previous comment, the official status page has been updated to mention issues with some non-Old components: "Native Mobile Apps" "Vote Processing" "Comment Processing" so I suppose the DownDetector spike is an unknown combination of people using Old and people using those other things. I assume New web/desktop reddit is able to operate when those functions are degraded by reading from stale cache / faraway regions / other fallbacks, while Old reddit is more directly coupled to those degraded functions.

Just moments ago I couldn't post on the iOS app. It's not just an old reddit problem.

Regular reddit doesn't work so I think that's the issue.

I thought so too but that's because I'm logged in with setting to use old Reddit. www.reddit.com works in incognito.

This is the situation I'm seeing. Didn't occur me that old was down because I just have that as my default setting for www.reddit.com.

No issues with new reddit here. Old reddit just serves "You broke Reddit".

Check again, it's truly broken now.

Testing now, I'm able to open www.reddit.com links, but not their corresponding old.reddit.com links; the latter lead to a page which says "YOU BROKE REDDIT".

It was working fine 2 hours ago. Now it's down, but that happens from time to time... Too soon to panic.

It's not really the underlying software that people care about here.

in addition to this, ever since the sequoia update I've been getting security failure errors on reddit which sometimes, & sometimes do not, go away with a page reload

This has happened many times in the past( old.reddit.com doesn't work but new reddit does).
Let's calm down and wait a few hours to see if this is just a bad merge on their part.
