> Why even have a status page if it is not going to be accurate in real time?

The funny thing is reddit's status page used to have real-time graphs of things like error rate, comment backlog, visits, etc. Not with any numbers on the Y-axis, so you could only see relative changes, really, but they were still helpful to see changes before humans got around to updating the status page.

There's a ctrl+open shortcut, if I remember correctly, which may be what the parent comment is referring to.

They're not linking to a change in wording? The "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" question was deleted entirely. Unless the parent comment or link was edited at some point, maybe.

The blog post talks about DNS glue records, but are they really relevant to the issue if the domain is suspended? A suspended domain is a suspended domain, regardless of whether it's using vanity nameservers.

There have also been (possibly AI-generated) comments that are simply rephrasing prior comments or even comments on the same post and piggybacking onto an already upvoted comment. It's not as common as the straight copy and paste comments but it is obvious by the same limited user history and rephrased comments that don't quite make sense in context.

A small typo I noticed - "Case-sensitive: 53^5 = 62,259,690,411,360" should be to the eighth power, not the fifth.

> What is Reddit's involvement other than their website being used for this communication?

I think that's it, which is why reddit is referred to as non-party in the motion.

It's a domain registered yesterday and an account registered an hour ago expressly to post the website, so the barrier to entry isn't particularly high.

It's a marketing blog for a service that relies on storing files locally, so that sounds about right. The HN username also matches the blog's author, so it does feel like they're posting exclusively for self-promotion.

In the distant past, I self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS, accessed it from a web browser and an Android phone, and liked it. I didn't have any problems with it but just never got around to setting it up again when I migrated VMs.

Now, I've been using NewsBlur (mostly on iOS, rarely on desktop) ever since Google Reader shut down. I don't have too many subscriptions but a couple folders for online comic strips, status pages or blogs of things I pay for (email service provider, etc.), and some software projects (Kubernetes, etc.).
