Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That’s a rather specific “server error”…

I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified “error” right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn’t load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics” (marked as “off-topic”).

    I’ve seen like 2-3 posts about it with thousands of upvotes that have been up for the last 12 hours or so. Aside from that news, there’s still tons of top posts shitting on Elon. Granted, I do find it very sus that there aren’t more post about the Elon Reddit news.
