In reply to the discussion: Who else is addicted to DU and is just glad we're back up [View all]3catwoman3
(25,073 posts)81. I didn't actually count how many times...
I checked to see if we were back up, but it was several times an hour starting in the late afternoon. And, like many who have already commented, there were definitely flashbacks to 2016 even tho this was planned and announced.
Ive never met a single DU member in person, yet I treasure this community.
Some addictions are beneficial. Mine to DU most certainly is.

I was really worried. Remember it was down in November 2016. Election Day wasn't it.
