Every other comment about what's down in this thread -- as if we needed dozens of site-by-site accountings of this outage in the first place -- is a bitch about reddit. Why is reddit so important to this crowd? The specific topics I used to read the site for (half a dozen years ago) have all been overrun by "bucket people," there is literally never an answer to any question I find a google link to there, and the site's design is actively user-hostile. Seriously: what's keeping that place afloat? Porn, I suppose.
