Our departure from Reddit was the greatest internet migration in history - this is the last day of data we have from before we locked the subreddit down. (see stickied comment)

Irrespectively of their politics, that was indeed a bold move that one has to give them credit for.

And surprisingly absolutely no one, their servers can't handle the load.

Look into the early history of Fakebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc., and you will see each had their own examples of 'growing pains'. As I recall, the migration from Myspace hobbled Zucky Zoidberg for a time. This is typical for every company that seeks to compete with a big name...at least one that is shooting itself in the foot, by screwing over its patrons. Expats from Youtube are taxing the limits of Bitchute, d.tube, lrby.tv, etc. It is standard practice for such competitors to start out small, and gradually build up as the need arises. Rapid growth is seldom in the business plan, nor in the budget.
