It's DDOS protection from Cloudflare, usually you only see it when a site's under heavy load...understandable considering the current migration from REEddit. Also, wouldn't surprise me if there's a DDOS attempt ongoing from the tolerant left.

I love checking the news tab on my Twatter app, because any time something bad happens it's "because Trump", and any time something good happens it's "despite Trump." It's pretty easy to figure out what's actually going on, when you just assume the opposite of whatever it says is the truth.

This will (hopefully) be the beginning of the end for Reddit, I can totally see them doing the same thing to Berniebros once he's screwed out of the democrat nomination (again), and they try to force all of them off the site for not worshipping whoever the DNC's chosen one is.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

There's no way to just delete the sub? Shame, I remember Reddit being such a fun site until 2015-2016, now they've ruined their entire site over the past few years, all because orange man bad. Nowadays I only visit there for t_d and the few niche/game-specific subs, and even those are getting pozzed.
