WRONG THREAD: Reddit has been having traffic drops for the last week. Yesterday and the previous were the worst: and what is WEIRD is that when Reddit would go down, I would lose my wifi... This is 100000% speculation ; but I find it weird (and I have been on reddit daily for ~15 years! (2006 my account was created) and I have never experienced this behaviour. It goes down like a FLAPPING maybe 15 mins between but only lasts ~1-2 mins... and comes back. I run a constant ping -t to goog from my machine to determine my link health... I havent seen this before. Also - I am running this from the flagship HPE Omen gaming laptop (I have two of them) and this last ~week is the first time I have seen this from reddit... and other sites are unaffected - but I do lose wifi momentarily when this happens... Anyone want to tell me how this can happen? --- My netsec theory is a MASSIVE silent user scan. Total speculation: What if an entity got access lists from a hack on reddit and they are scanning the shit out of all clients who are connecting to reddit and mapping out the network of connections to reddit by the user-base? --- Conspiracy level comment: China invested a lot in reddit. With global sabre-rattling ; who's to say that TenCent isnt now mapping all users from reddit? The Ban-Hammer came down hard on reddit users recently.. There are some really interesting thoughts I have seen on the Ban Hammer --> narrative driving --> Bot manipulation on Reddit. I really hope that we may see some thoughts from Reddit on what is happening in the future, sans that ; that we can at least hope that Reddit is talking to other entities about whats happening? What about the recent drop of any sort of spam filter on gmail? That one started slow, then ramped up, now its every email I get daily is spam to inbox. Why? What happened to the filtering to other buckets in gmail (spam, promotions, etc)?
