Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all). Allegedly they're trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it's not working well enough lol

A good problem to have although long term we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.

I also got a couple of "you broke reddit" pages trying to follow the post. So even reddit servers couldn't keep up with how made people are. And this is on a Friday, traditionally the day to do things you do not want noticed.

They never had to do the AMA in the first place. It's baffling really, there were absolutely ZERO good outcomes for Reddit here.

Considering his several passive aggressive statements about Apollo over the course of the AMA, and the sheer irrationality for him to do it at all and especially to double down, I can only assume this is all fueled by egotistical rage.

I honestly find the constant digs at Apollo developer baffling. Spez is clearly looking for a scapegoat, but after the second or third time Christian showed the receipts, you'd think he'd find another target...

Instead he is digging himself and reddit deeper and deeper into that hole - seems ego really is a hell of a drug.

It is very odd behavior, I wouldn't be surprised if he steps down and goes to rehab or something. The way he has been acting, it really seems like something more is going on with him.

I'm wondering the same.

I mean, anyone with a bit of sense knew beforehand the AMA would have been a disaster, it actually turned out to be even worse than many people imagined.

At first I thought he wanted to do it anyway to play victim, something like "see?? I wanted to talk they didn't listen!"

But seeing how utterly stupid his answers were, I couldn't make any sense of it, you're probably right, "egotistical rage" is the only logical answer at this point.
