I saw one when I visited Kangaroo Island in Australia (an island on the south side) and for a second I thought it wasn’t real. They really are as blue as the picture.
If you weren't a redditor, or weren't an active one, I can see not understanding the public grief over reddit.
I was a reddit mod. I attended and ran dozens of reddit meetups. I made numerous friends from reddit. I had 2 relationships because of reddit. I watched 2 couples get married because of reddit, and because I introduced my reddit friends to my larp friends, I caused 2 more.
I have an "Open Sourceror" badge on my reddit profile, because 13 years ago I made a patch for reddit so that /r/friends/comments would show comments, including in an RSS feed, so reddit could be used with Gwibber on Ubuntu. Later they killed the RSS feed access if you weren't logged in, but you could still use it through the API. Now they've killed the API too.
reddit wasn't just a link aggregator site. In lots of places it was a source of community, and a source of advice on niche topics. I dropped my reddit scrolling to near zilch, but I still pop in to give advice for those groups, because they're not going to get it elsewhere right now.
So for some, it was just a place for memes, and they can find them elsewhere. For others, it was 14 years of community. It's only been a month. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.
As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)

It has been a month since the Reddit blackout began...
Happy Blackout Anniversary!
It’s been a wild week for the open social web (dev.to)
I took a crack at making an alternate "Previously on ..." for SNW's "Among the Lotus Eaters" (www.youtube.com)
Be gentle … I don’t do this sort of thing often, but I figured I could waste an hour or two in Premiere Elements to see what I could cobble together.
