Townsends! I got introduced to that channel when Joe Perra appeared on it. Didn't think 1700s homesteading would be interesting, but that team does a good job.

Okay my theory:

Idk about other countries but here Reddit is pretty much the only big social media platform that isn‘t overrun by normies and boomers. So people from my country using reddit are either relatively young people that are somewhat chronically online or people or techies.

Now the reddit blackout generated a lot of attention and all the normies and boomers are like „wtf is a reddit“ and go to check it out. So that just ddos‘d reddit.

I have zero evidence for my theory but I really like it.

Was curious what was happening, was using libreddit and figured they were just being bogged down, but my mobile app doesn't work either. Also anyone know why the upvotes on this post are fluctuating between <10, ~20, 150, 400, etc.? Are they upvote numbers for different instances?

Reddit probably be like "we had sooooo many users these days that our servers went out. But we cannot provide any numbers, we lost all the server data"
