Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Fellow doomscroller (@simplehumanhaha) reported@IowaTesla Small build quality issues if you really look (at least for me) but in general that is almost like someone being too picky. Often times, i noticed my friends read that on the cesspool that is reddit.
-
AutoGolpe Chatbot (@repressionnap) reported@ErdalToprak @cztomsik "You are not running an iPhone 14, you are running a dumbed down version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max that somehow miraculously still works." Okay bro but it still makes phone calls and has reddit.

Michelangel Yo (@MichelangelYo) reported@ggreenwald @LoewyLawFirm @vanguard_pod we used to have a word for this, something about the oldest profession in the world. Don't worry, the vanguard boys won't get it, after all they live in a van down by the river. (rip chris farley, probably smarter than both combined) Sadly I see more original content on stupidpol (reddit) from actual lefties than from folks like the vanguard / etc. Now if we could make Sabby less flabby that'd make me habpy.

ImZackSong (@ImZackSong) reported@rcnfive @bwsea44 @SnazzyLabs First and foremost, the stickers are pretentious. & They are very much performative. Everyone who has the stickers all say the same things "oh my friends love it" "I get so many compliments on it" etc. Second, the original post wasn't even about the sticker it was about people leaving trash at superchargers. & I made a joke about "of course they had an anti Elon sticker" because they did. Lastly, someone who was not a mod messaged me some ragebait message to which I responded "you seem like a loser" & then I was immediately banned by an actual mod. Cool, you are a mod. But thinking you can control what people think and feel about a situation to "protect" the subreddit from "crazy left brain washed" people or whatever is exactly the issue. You're making things worse & it's the exact behavior that makes everyone on the Internet hate reddit mods.

Heath (@heathbuilds_) reported@NitinthisSide_ Reddit usually rewards the problem-solving post first, SaaS mention second.

Michael Mattox - The Mad Ox (@TheRealMadOx) reportedCalifornia K9 shows up looking for an intruder and decides the garage is a bathroom. Security camera caught the dog searching hard, then stopping dead and pissing on a box of tools and motorcycle parts. Homeowner posted the video on Reddit. Said it wasn’t really an issue. Reddit had a field day. Top comment called it “planting evidence.” Another said he was just marking the areas he’d already cleared. Dogs gotta go when they gotta go. Handler couldn’t exactly tell him to hold it mid search. At least the place got marked secure. H/t Reddit u/Flea420

Derek Wolters (@derek_wolters) reported@levelsio This is a problem in the short term absolutely. In the mid-long term, the web will have more knowledge, info, and data than ever before. It's not clear yet what it will look like, but it will result from AI native platforms. Currently, there is a massive amount of friction involved in creating content (even something as simple as a Reddit post). AI lowers the friction and increases the amount of content by orders of magnitude.

Lisinfleur || #BringBackValko (@Lisinfleur) reportedReddit Fan mod team being more effective in dealing with controversial posts and problems than @InfoldGames_ and @Love_Deepspace entire team. Time to rewire your company or taking some classes from these reddit mods uh?? #全世界都爱敖尹 #LADSIs6 #SpeakUpInfold
-
right wing Gardening (@RightWingGarden) reported@King_of_Bugs04 It's really disheartening that people, usually with bad intentions but not necessarily, are the ones that push others away from God by being poor representatives of Christianity. So many of these spiteful reddit atheist types have a story of a terrible pastor they once trusted.
-
v 🍎🐟🐾🚗⭐❄️ (@awoooooo_6) reported@SapphicNPetty I still can't figure it out 😭 I've only seen people talking about how terrible it is to even consider spending, but not a single person talking about how they'll spend? all I can guess is that maybe it's been a bigger problem on discord/reddit/elsewhere and people are just speaking out about it here??

Moniiii (@miniii_codes) reported@SahilPanhotra Reddit worked because the founder understood where the problem lived

over (@itsfine1245) reported@spillintomymind @Aprameyah_ Reddit push me from left to right. I first enjoyed reddit then even neutral comment start getting down vote

S. Shellito (@sh3115) reported@GovPressOffice Suppose it takes less energy to become a Reddit contender than fix CA. Reddit status a primary concern when there is no light-speed rail, people/dogs are dying on the streets from drugs, fire victims continue to wait for rebuilding and on and on. But sure,Reddit takes precedence.

Dennis Willeboordse 👨🏼🦰 eCommerce Growth (@thedennis) reportedWhat I do before writing a single ad: 1. Amazon. My category. Sort by most reviews. 2. Read the 3-STAR reviews only (not 5, not 1) 3. Highlight every phrase describing the problem 4. Pull 20 Reddit threads, sort by upvotes 5. Search support tickets for "I wish" and "I hate" 5-star is fanboys. 1-star is haters. 3-star is the truth. Your next winning hook is already written in one.

SaMi (@info_with_ai) reported1/ Find a painful problem Don’t start by asking: “What should I create?” Ask: “What problem are people already paying to solve?” Look at: → Reddit → X → Facebook groups → Amazon reviews → YouTube comments Find repeated complaints and questions.

Common Sense Investor (CSI) (@commonsenseplay) reportedYES YOU - YOU'RE A RECKLESS SPECULATOR NOT AN INVESTOR! $SPCX $WEN $IREN $ONDS $IONQ $RGTI $PYPL $LULU $UBER $RDDT $NBIS $OKLO I’m re-reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, and it got me thinking about how loosely we use the word “investor.” These days, especially on X, anyone who buys or sells a stock calls themselves an investor. But buying shares does not automatically make you one. There is a big difference between investing and speculating. An investor tries to understand what they own, what it is worth, what could go wrong and whether the price makes sense. They think about risk, position size, diversification and how the investment fits into their overall portfolio. A speculator is usually focused on what might go up next over next few minutes, hours or days! That includes people buying on maximum margin, treating leveraged ETFs like lottery tickets, shorting stocks without understanding the risks, gambling on short-dated options or chasing whatever is popular on X or Reddit! There is nothing wrong with admitting that you are speculating. The problem is pretending it is investing! Using leverage, options or short selling does not automatically make someone reckless. These tools can have a purpose. I use them too - but using them without understanding the downside is a different story. That is why I made this pyramid. The higher you go, the more the result depends on leverage, timing, hype, emotion and luck. At the bottom is the boring approach: a sensible asset mix, diversification, low fees, patience and a long-term plan. Boring does not get much attention, but it usually gives you a better chance of staying in the game long term - and actually reap the rewards of compounding! Capital is hard to earn, treat it with respect. Think about how many hours/weeks of work that last speculative trade was and you will feel different about it! Expect better from your decisions, your process and your future. Be a common-sense investor, not a reckless speculator!

Ben Tyson (@HexitBen) reportedSomeone needs to tell Bitcoin investors Their community has reddit mod syndrome Bitcoin isn’t scarce if more than 21 million coins exist to buy & sell on the open market… A completely broken meme Full blown delusion Mainstream finance & business news pundits maintain the illusion Social media, big tech & government are gatekeepers Bitcoin did $9 trillion of swap volume in 2025 on centralized exchanges. Fees went to make legacy finance great again Decentralized markets are a bigger revolution than Bitcoin HEX burns a proof constraint that’s way more scarce than electricity: Time Try manipulating Time. Go on, try….

rosCoal(she/her) 🌏🌌☔☔☔🌄🪺👰🏿♂️ (@Snowbell_Insane) reportedcomputer so terrible rn. Nothing good on X, Reddit, Discord, Youtube, my folders, my games, nowhere. Blast it all!
-
pikuma.com (@pikuma) reported@GiLgamesh111 @insigzeroes To be fair, it's not just reddit. I get the exact same treatment from Hacker News, tech forums, and virtually every time someone shares my work in a Discord server. I now understand that it's the cost of doing things differently than what people find "acceptable." I'm sure that if I released my lectures for "free" but flooded them with ads and banners, they'd have no problem of sharing it.

Jayskeletyn (@Jay_Skeletyn) reported@ajspillz Problem number one, you posted on reddit

The Groyping Dutchman🐸🇳🇱 (@TheGroypDutch2) reported@amitky8 @Prob_Spam @beyoncegarden Reddit is down the hall to the left
-
Tyler King (@macskibowl) reported@ihatepeople214 @Paul198j @realEvanBriggs It’s sad to see ones that were botched up and it was performed without their consent. Too much skin removed, skin bridges, deep scarring, meatal stenosis and a host of other issues. Go to Reddit and you find guys upset they were circumcised and why they use restoring devices.
-
Not Telling (@mig31best) reported@ezcopterROFL @Soymaxxing12 It just isn’t useful for most things. Functionally a worse google search for 90% of issues, the other 10% have been solved by some guy with the same problem on reddit ten years ago
-
just_developer (@Pranav_412) reported@arthuryuzbashew I have tried reddit for marketing but I didn’t get users or at least a good feedback. All I was got was my post got removed by the bots due to policy issues.
-
🐱 (@LegHvmper) reported@WhiteFlowerSong Reddit is down the hall and to the left
-
Rovvly_B (@Rovvly_B) reported@kigitomora2 @SanderVagabond @Pirat_Nation I noticed that. The mods just let you insult each other and resolve the problem as long as words Reddit itself sanctioned aren't used. And on those subs ironically, people are allowed to disagree and explain their reasoning without being cut off for being "hateful".

LaDarius Ty’Quavius Jackson (@JewWithBennies) reported@JennDinKC @MattMeeks28 Negotiations “broke down” so insurance went from $70 to $3k overnight? That’s not how any of this works chief. Save this fanfic **** for Reddit

elaine 🌙🌞 (@problematic_god) reportedcan’t talk to me about our issues but can write Reddit posts with one-sided pov lol okay

Paul Murray (@thegreatpmurs) reported@majamediaco I was a pretty classic shy introverted nerdy lovelorn teenage boy and always framed my romantic problems as "Why don't girls like me?" When I was 21, someone on Reddit said "Your framing of the problem is wrong because it puts the responsibility for people to like you on them."
