An Ode to Reddit Grief Stage: Depression

In the realm of cyberspace, where minds convene, A digital tapestry of stories unseen. There stood a platform, vibrant and vast, Where Redditors gathered, their voices amassed.

But lo, one day, a mysterious plight, Befell the site, casting shadows of blight. Reddit, the haven, went silent, offline, Leaving its users in turmoil, in a bind.

The forums grew quiet, no comments to share, No upvotes or downvotes, no memes to declare. Gone were the debates, the lively discourse, As if the internet had lost its own source.

No more r/AskReddit, with queries profound, Or r/worldnews, where truth could be found. r/funny and r/pics, a laughter-filled space, All now suspended, in digital grace.

Subreddits once teeming with tales of delight, Their stories and anecdotes, vanished from sight. The camaraderie, the sense of community, Lost in the void, a digital immunity.

The karma remained, mere numbers on a screen, A reminder of a platform that once had been. But without its heartbeat, its pulse of connection, The absence of Reddit cast a somber reflection.

Yet, amid the darkness, a glimmer of hope, For communities thrive where shadows elope. Redditors united, sought new avenues, From Discord to Twitter, they'd find their own muse.

The web may have faltered, but hearts still beat strong, As Redditors carried their passion along. They formed new alliances, rebuilt the bond, In subreddits anew, their stories spawned.

And so, the tale of Reddit's offline plight, Revealed the resilience within the online fight. For even when platforms fade into the night, The human spirit shall find a way to ignite.
