Uh oh. Is DU starting to get flooded?

Just got two gateway timeouts in a row when I clicked on OPs I wanted to read.
Anyone else starting to have issues with DU?

I also just lost a post, which was followed by a Cloudflare failure message.

...and yeah, the number of new registrations and insulting right-wing nuts has certainly increased over the last 48 hours.

I suppose some of them might have brought along a new type of software hack just to fuck with people.

Very heavy traffic. Posts that I click "recommend" on pause for a couple of minutes, then refresh with many more recc's added to the number.

Basically any time you start seeing 504 errors, it's because we're experiencing an unusually high level of traffic.

Awful that Earl G. and Elad may have to deal with this nonsense again when they just dealt with something similiar just about a week ago.

That I double-posted because I kept getting the Cloudflare page. I'm sure it's motivated by the RW haters. Pigs
