The Verge article:
So... According to Reddit the blackout is the culprit, I guess?
So either it's just an outage and they're faulting the blackout, or the blackout is actually the culprit. Either way I hope this works. However, I'm still not going back to Reddit even if they fix and reverse everything.
I wonder if it's bots or something trying to access the now dark subreddits. Essentially causing a DDOS.
well if i made a bot, hmm, yeah that could cause it lol. Like if i tell it "go in every 30 minutes & steal the top 20 posts", and it's down, i'd just say "retry till u get it, idc if u DoS that shit" and well if many ppl do it, it's a free DDoS courtesy of robotland
I bet thats whats happening.
if that's what's happening, i feel a sense of fellowship for those ppl who don't give a shit and will ddos a website just to try and steal some memes, truly conoisseurs of 🅱️est 🅱️ractices 😎
