A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A significant number. Fantastic. I'm not sure I believe the stability issues, I'm just a a tin foil hat kind of guy though. I guess it's possible.

Reddit didn't design their systems around needing to deal with a huge number of subs going private all at the same time. It's not surprising that it caused a short outage.
