Reddit is down on Chrome. So if I want to waste time I will have to use Microsoft Edge. pic.twitter.com/PYlJ9lKHRa

The error rate appears to have peaked and be decreasing. Still no luck for me though, once I log in it ceases to load. #reddit #redditisdown pic.twitter.com/kZokpuqsLH

Last week WhatsApp and Instagram also suffered similar outages for several hours.
