Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down? Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvote

Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down?
Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvoted HN post ever? 8 mins -> ~350 votes, 15 mins -> ~750 votes. I wonder if @dang could chime in with some stats?
Update: looks like it hit 1000 upvotes in ~25 mins!
Update: 1500 in ~40 mins
Update: 2000 in ~1 hour 20 mins (used the HN API for the timestamp)

- TonyTrapp 6y agoThe recent youtube-dl takedown had a similar number of votes but still slightly slower, I think. I think it was >500 in 30min and >1000 in 60min if I remember correctly.

- Macha 6y agoMaybe, could have just seen a dropoff in upvotes once the issue was resolved also
