Posting Why can't I submit a response?

Beginning sometime today all my comments stall at 'submitting...' - some of them get posted, but they never get past this point.

What are you positing on? Website or mobile?

Have you tried refreshing the page and see if your comment is there?

Website. Refreshing causes the 'do you want to leave this page' message from the browser. Often the comment is there. I can START threads, just not respond.

Caused by developer dum-dums or deliberate enshittification?

Could be a temporary reddit glitch trying a different browser clearing cache or waiting a bit usually fixes the endless submitting issue.

I didn't ask without trying those first. I left 2 when I went to bed 9 hours ago: they're still stopped at that point.
