Uh oh. Is DU starting to get flooded?

[mwmisses4289]

Just got two gateway timeouts in a row when I clicked on OPs I wanted to read.
Anyone else starting to have issues with DU?

[marybourg]

1. Yes.

[Bev54]

2. Mine is just running really slow

[Johnny2X2X]

3. It's very slow right now

Been the subject of attacks before.

[Blue Full Moon]

4. Same

[sarisataka]

5. Slow & lots of timeouts

[dalton99a]

6. Yep.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. Yes - slow to respond to clicks

[Mosby]

8. Yep, time to go to defcon2?

[LilElf70]

9. Based on slow responses

I'm suspecting DU is getting hammered by something.

10. Yep, lots of 504 errors.

I also just lost a post, which was followed by a Cloudflare failure message.

11. glad to know it's not just my computer or my internet provider

...and yeah, the number of new registrations and insulting right-wing nuts has certainly increased over the last 48 hours.

I suppose some of them might have brought along a new type of software hack just to fuck with people.

14. Constant bad gateway msgs.

Site is almost unusable.

Bbl.

15. Yeah, it's been getting very slow for me the last few minutes.

Very heavy traffic. Posts that I click "recommend" on pause for a couple of minutes, then refresh with many more recc's added to the number.

16. We've switched to members-only mode temporarily

Basically any time you start seeing 504 errors, it's because we're experiencing an unusually high level of traffic.

[mwmisses4289]

19. Thank you.

[mwmisses4289]

17. Ok, glad it isn't just me.

Awful that Earl G. and Elad may have to deal with this nonsense again when they just dealt with something similiar just about a week ago.

18. It took me about 7 times to delete a post

That I double-posted because I kept getting the Cloudflare page. I'm sure it's motivated by the RW haters. Pigs
