No it's a conspiracy because we like torturing you hahahahahaaa!
I didn't think anything could be as irrationally annoying to me as the "this site is down for me, is it down for you?" entries in communities - but apparently "this site is down according to me and downforeveryone, is it down for you too?" makes me want to punch someone in the face.

(Also, on the one hand, I'm happy, but on the other, the world is conspiring to make me headdesk and facepunch.)
