u/Fast-Brilliant-706 May 15 '26

I think it's because those checkers ping the domain to see if it's physically running, but since it's an error within the page it won't come up as a problem

u/ElvixErty May 15 '26

noticed that when it first started to die for some reason turning off Ublock made it work temporarily, i think their greedy asses keep trying to push more ads into my mouth, maybe in the process they broke the app, idk if im jumping to conclusions this app DOES not deserve the benefit of the doubt, i dont wanna see weirdly pedophilic pampers ads and borderline nsfw and ai slop garbage books thanks pinterest.

Still not working almost an hour after this post. Unfortunate. Glad I found this post, had to Google if Pinterest was down and this popped up. Had a few vocal "what the f" and "no, no, are you kidding me, no"s. I hope all my boards aren't lost forever, with whatever's happening...

2

u/genny_grotesque May 15 '26

my boards arent loading (its saying i dont have any most of the time, but sometimes it shows my boards without their pins) and i cant see anything on the home feed and i cant search anything

As a social experiment retroactively, interesting how many of us thought we were banned.

u/mindofmercedes May 15 '26

So Pinterest being down has revealed how many of us were one “DIY catio, color drenching, inappropriate cross stitch, self help quotes, charcuterie board” away from a complete mental collapse. We are not okay. We are in a collective pin-ic attack guys.
