Reddit's emergency shutdown just freaked everyone out

Reddit is coming back online after an outage that lasted more than an hour.

The issues began around 3:26 p.m. PT, according to the site's status page, following "a slight issue with a routine software upgrade."

Though the company promised to be back online "momentarily," it wasn't until more than an hour later -- at 4:57 p.m. PT -- when they updated to say "bringing the site back slowly."

While it was down, users who tried to visit the site were greeted with a message saying "Reddit is down for emergency maintenance." Other users saw error pages.

Unsurprisingly, Redditors did not take the roughly 90-minute downtime well.

So what do you do when the front page of the internet goes down? Complain on Twitter, of course.

With Reddit being Reddit, it only took a few minutes after the site came back online for Redditors to begin sharing their experiences of the outage on AskReddit.
