The message implies that automoderator can't keep up, but someone said that mentions of and/or links to WSB are failing sitewide, so maybe an attempted admin censorship that failed due to popularity. I guess Reddit needs some tips from China and Google about how to censor efficiently.

One of the moderators on Monday or yesterday said the influx of new people was really hard on the bot...maybe that has something to do with it.....I've been ocasionally glancing at WSB for the past 6 months or so but only joined on Sunday because I was afraid it was about to go private.
