I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of uninformed users are getting blocked from subreddits and are constantly retrying.
More likely bots than people if they're hitting it that hard
That'd be an interesting twist.
self-fulfilled prophecy. block the bots & get accidentally ddos'd by the lil bots u tried to kill
They could also be having to check lots of people against the lists of who is allowed in what private subs. Which could in turn cause problems if the code there assumes that usually people are allowed in the private subs they visit and relies on that to be fast.
Not sure that there were any private subs with tens of millions of disallowed subscribers before this morning.
