In what's becoming all too common of a situation, Reddit is currently down for users across the globe. While I've been able to access some pages sporadically over the last fifteen minutes or so -- including individual posts and communities -- most visitors are being met with one of several various error messages. These range from "Try again later" requests to full black pages alerting users to a "upstream connect error."

Reddit updated its own status page at 3:38 PM ET, referring to degraded performance for the website. This warning arrived nearly an hour after reports to services like Down Detector, which has seen over 40,000 reports of issues within the hour before Reddit updated its own incident page. The full error being delivered to most visitors -- at least, judging by my own experience and by scrolling through social media -- is below.
