minus-squarerelative_iteratorlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoMaybe related to dynamic scaling on their servers? Not sure how typical a large drop-off in traffic is to a site as big as reddit.
minus-squarehonk@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoHow would a drop in traffic bring a site down? That doesn‘t make any sense.
