Or we just let all those saying die with reddit, that’s a thought

[–] Andreas@feddit.dk 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The Fediverse is too new and decentralized to have its own sayings, so all we have is the memories of our old home. Besides, these sayings remind us of a better era of Reddit where it was just a bunch of techie weirdos asking each other "when does the narwhal bacon" and trying to bait newbies to click on /r/spacedicks. I still remember my first days on Reddit, when I was grounded from the family computer and stole my dad's laptop to browse. Someone linked /r/spacedicks and convinced me that it was the NASA memes subreddit. I clicked on it and was waiting for the page to load on the terribly slow wifi when my dad stormed into the room, furious that his laptop was missing, and proceeded to beat the shit out of me with a set of jumper cables. It hurts so much to see the site I grew up with be destroyed by corporate greed like that, but life goes on.

Some possibilities:

  • Some fool thinks it's a good idea to DDoS Reddit today to make a point.
  • Some Reddit admin thinks it's a good idea to take it offline deliberately to make a point.
  • The general public are hugging it to death out of curiosity about the protest.
  • Unrelated outage. Outages happen, sometimes even on the same day as other things.

Its been having issues for days. I discovered as much while deleting all my old post and comments.

I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of uninformed users are getting blocked from subreddits and are constantly retrying.

More likely bots than people if they're hitting it that hard

They could also be having to check lots of people against the lists of who is allowed in what private subs. Which could in turn cause problems if the code there assumes that usually people are allowed in the private subs they visit and relies on that to be fast.

Not sure that there were any private subs with tens of millions of disallowed subscribers before this morning.

We did it ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy

Can I just say, I'm so happy that everybody banded together against them. Like a bunch of strangers on the internet grouping together to tell them, "No, you will not"
