But do we know why it was down? If it was something like a ddos (or claimed to be) this could be used to vilify the protestors.
Our usage stats show that we have record low numbers of people using the site and at the same time we have too many people using the site.
If they are being completely honest, my guess is that the page that loads when a sub is private comes from a server that doesn’t typically get much load.
Then everything went private and suddenly that server was hugged to death.
This makes sense to me. I only came over to Lemmy because of the reddit API drama, and I'm pretty impressed with it so far! I'd love for it to grow, so I hope this is a death knell or sign of things to come for Reddit.
