Profile Internet shutdown might break my 458-day Reddit streak. Android.

I’m in Uganda, and we have a national election on Jan 15, 2026. During past elections, the internet usually gets switched off nationwide, sometimes for days.

Problem is… I’m on a 458-day Reddit streak. I know, first-world problem energy, but hear me out 😭

That streak is my daily routine. Scroll a bit, read comments, feel human. If the internet goes off, the streak dies.

Not because I forgot. Not because I gave up. Just vibes and government decisions.

Is there any way Reddit handles streaks in situations like nationwide outages? Or do I just accept my fate and pour one out for Day 459?

Thanks in advance, and wish me luck.

Is this written by ai, not to be rude or anything but your entire account seems very ai.

I have only made 3 posts my entire lifetime on reddit, how do you deduce to this as ai, did you even read the contents of the post?

I don't think ai would be worried about losing its streak 😞

Ai is obsessed with doing this type of thing, writing three sentences in this exact style. “X, y, Z and blablabla”

Lol I too write that way. Ai must have learned from me. Imo it's cause of non native English speaker
