Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all). Allegedly they're trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it's not working well enough lol

A good problem to have although long term we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.

I'm wondering the same.

I mean, anyone with a bit of sense knew beforehand the AMA would have been a disaster, it actually turned out to be even worse than many people imagined.

At first I thought he wanted to do it anyway to play victim, something like "see?? I wanted to talk they didn't listen!"

But seeing how utterly stupid his answers were, I couldn't make any sense of it, you're probably right, "egotistical rage" is the only logical answer at this point.
