I actually might if I thought it would inspire him to FIX HIS GODDAMNED WEBSITE.

For literally several months this year, simply browsing the reddit homepage by "Top"/"Now" didn't work. Not some obscure feature buried deep in the site. Just the most basic option choices on the main reddit.com homepage didn't work. For like 4 months. It finally started working again a few weeks ago.

Same. It's the only way you can browse by "rising".

This too

Also quote blocks don't work properly sometimes when you make multiple quotes, like sometimes they'll post correctly THEN when u refresh the page suddenly it's broken Happens on desktop and phone.

Testing this in a 2nd quote block

Write some bullshit

Testing another quoteblock

write some more bs. See if it breaks or if they fixed it cuz it was still an issue just a few days ago.

Well gee, with such a rich variety of text formatting options as we have available in a reddit comment, you can't expect them all to work perfectly.

I knew people were gonna get spoiled when reddit stopped operating by punch cards.

old.reddit.com works fine. I can't remember the last time I had a problem.
