lemmy.world crashing in 3, 2....

[-] kubica@fedia.io 82 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn't it be funny if the AI reading reddit ended up trained on error messages?

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago

Even funnier if it turns out the AI "learning" caused a DDOS attack.

Sure, to first bake a cupcake you need degraded performance…

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 weeks ago

I... I already have that. What's next?

I… I already have that.

Normally degraded performance means that things happen too slowly, not too quickly.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

I just googled your symptoms and it says you have network connectivity problems.

[-] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

Would it produce better or worse output compared to training on the AI that writes reddit?

[-] GrundlButter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 75 points 2 weeks ago

It's been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle. Thanks for fucking up the site out of pure greed, you self righteous cunts. If Swartz were alive today, he'd kill himself again over what they did to reddit.

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 14 points 2 weeks ago

It’s been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle.

Oh, reddit had these technical issues long before that. I remember regular downtimes. It's just in the past we had 3rd party apps and their web app wasn't as bloated as it is today, so at least reddit had good UX/aesthetics.

But now both sides are ugly.

[-] GrundlButter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, it was indeed a hot mess in many ways, but it was also a mostly functioning online community. So functional it became a great source for information and individual opinions on just about anything.

It could have been preserved and profited from with little effort, but some suits saw a bigger payday opportunity and tried to wring it dry, accidentally squeezed too hard, and drove a wedge into the community.

[-] Balrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of the good old days.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Someone spilled coffee on their server. /s

Downtime bananas.

[-] FancyLad@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

Reddit is the new Digg and Lemmy is the new reddit, which means we will one day be the new Digg 😨

[-] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 22 points 2 weeks ago

Better ditch Lemmy and start your own app now to stay ahead of the curve

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy in NOT the new reddit. It has nowhere near the traffic or niche communities that reddit does. We are our own little community of defectors, but Lemmy is currently not reddit and I have my doubts it will pick up in traffic ever. Which is ok too, I guess.

[-] Melody@lemmy.one 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy has it's start by being that upstart anti-reddit competitor. ...Just like Reddit was back when Digg dominated the web.

Give it time; it seems Spez didn't learn his lessons from how reddit ended up dominating over Digg.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Just destroy the internet and/or the planet when Lemmy becomes reddit and the changeover will never happen.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

At the current rate, lemmy just might out live the planet.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 42 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, I'm on my third instance because the other two went away so it's not like we have zero problems here. Gloating can be dangerous.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 weeks ago

At least here we have that option!

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago

And cheers to that!

[-] DoctorButts@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Given your track record, you should make an account on Hexbear next

[-] garpujol@discuss.online 27 points 2 weeks ago

Cool. Also in important news, I’m scratching my ass.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Damnit, it’s back. It was good while it lasted.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

I guess they replaced their backend potato.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no, how will the bots function without reddit? Where are the outrage trolls going to scream into the void?

Oh well, not my dumpster fire, not my problem. It is quite funny though.

[-] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

Soon lemmy.ml will spike again during this outage

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 2 weeks ago

Do you really think all the tankies haven't already left?

[-] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

More than tankies but I was slightly hopeful

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 2 weeks ago

I guess I was also being hopeful that there where any humans left to even ask the question xD

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

I wish that shitty legacy site would go down for good.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Join the Lemmy promise land redditors!

[-] gt24@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Reddit, about yesterday, started to implement a change....

They have the old Reddit interface and then the one that replaced it ("new Reddit") and the current interface you see on Reddit replaced that. People don't like the most recent interface iteration but had the option to go to "new Reddit" or "old Reddit" by vising the appropriate links.

Notably, each newer interface seems to be more stressful for the servers to run. Still, likely a decent amount of folks don't like the newest interface so likely the load balances out.

Yesterday though, they "pulled the lever" and "new Reddit" is no more. (This was announced about a month ago at this link but they only got around to doing it yesterday.) Those people trying to access "new Reddit" are redirected to the latest interface. You have the option to use the oldest Reddit interface or the newest one but not the "new Reddit" one. Since the latest interface seemed to use the most server resources before, it is interesting how Reddit seemed to have their severs overloaded a bit when they made the switchover.

On Reddit, people have been upset in /r/help that this has happened but Reddit will likely continue on with this change anyway. Old Reddit will continue to be supported (at least for now anyway).
