We are absolutely testing server capacity right now. And the reddit blackout is just starting. Gotta be prepared.
Edit: Apparently we are not testing server capacity just yet, there was a configuration that needed to be updated on the back end, as per the Dude.
The blackout is currently happening at least in 5000 of the 7000 subs, I assume that's why the errors are happening now.
Is that hyperbole or are there actual blackout stats somewhere?
Holy fuck. Combined subscriber base of 2.5 BILLION. All going dark. We're in danger 😳
FWIW those have a lot of overlap, it's not unique subscribers. Plus there's a couple of default subs included.
Yeah I know half of the world isn't on reddit. I'm still impressed by the number of subreddits that went dark though.
A lot are restricted as well. Technically still 'public' but not allowing new posts/ comments.
