Seems like a lot of instances are being hit hard today. The mod (Ruud) at lemmy.world has been posting about his server upgrades as well. Here's his latest update: https://lemmy.world/comment/102234

The Markup found that news aggregators and commentators like Ohlala often omit information that would give the news cultural or historical context, and, in Ohlala’s case, her content is repackaged from right-wing organizations.
I just checked out a few of her videos and can confirm she was spewing right-wing talking points. Older Vietnamese who went through the Vietnam War, like my parents, often gravitate towards conservative news sources even before YouTube channels like these blew up. It's extremely frustrating trying to talk current events with them now.
This feels super exciting like when I was alternating between digg and reddit before digg started dying in 2010.
