Reddit users are currently unable to access the site due to a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The site has been down for hours, with many Redditors taking to Twitter and other social media platforms to express their frustration. Many are unable to log in, while others are receiving an error message stating that the page cannot be displayed.
Users have been quick to point out that DDoS attacks can be carried out by individuals or groups as a form of protest or demonstration. In this case, it seems likely that the attack is being carried out by anti-Trump activists, given Reddit’s reputation as a platform for people who oppose Donald Trump’s presidency. The most recent attacks have been carried out by PoodleCorp, who have also taken responsibility for other high-profile DDoS attacks on major websites such as Twitter and Spotify.
