In a statement to The Verge<\/em>, Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt said, \u201cThere was a bug in a recent update we made, but a fix is in place and we\u2019re ramping back up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Its status page<\/a> now says the platform is \u201cmonitoring the results\u201d of its fix, but that there still may be \u201cdegraded performance\u201d on its website or mobile app. At the height of the outage, the site didn\u2019t load at all and simply displayed the error message: \u201cupstream connect error or disconnect\/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n On Reddit\u2019s mobile app, users were getting another message that said, \u201cWe have encountered an error. Please try again later.\u201d The outage seems to have started around 3:20PM ET, as Downdetector reports<\/a> spiked around that time. Reddit implemented a fix at around 7:30PM ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
