Social media platforms Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) experienced technical issues on Thursday afternoon, with problems beginning around 2:30 p.m. ET, according to outage monitoring site DownDetector.
Users across the U.S. reported being unable to access Reddit entirely, with both the website and mobile app appearing completely offline. Visitors attempting to load the site were met with error messages or blank pages, suggesting a widespread service disruption.
X also saw a significant uptick in user complaints, particularly around slow load times and problems sending direct messages. While the platform remained partially functional, users reported general sluggishness and intermittent service interruptions.
