What was your first reaction to the massive exodus from Reddit during the blackout? Was it something you were expecting?
It was
On the negative side, for about 2 months, I got an average of 5 hours sleep a night, got 12k+ notifications on github alone, and every day was a new stressful emergency.
But it also helped us expose a bunch of security issues, and help expose and optimize some of our DB issues, so in that sense a reddit-sized stress-test was of long-term benefit to the project.
Luckily things have calmed down now, and we're able to cope with things a bit better.
Congratulations on surviving to this !
