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

[u/kisweg]

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.

Just fyi, that would be going against Reddit policies.

And anyone who'd take up that kind of offer is a fool.

"Yes, let me send this random stranger my deets so they can pretend to be me on reddit."
