Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That’s a rather specific “server error”…
I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified “error” right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn’t load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics” (marked as “off-topic”).

I saw this in the 4th spot on r/all.
I couldn’t find it going over all’s history, but I did find this fucking funny one. Musk is desperate and over-leveraged. The double finger “gun” is hilarious.
