@jasonkoebler Same thing happened on Reddit, during the "blackout" in 2023.
People started migrated to Lemmy, K/Mbin and others. Reddit was actively obscuring and removing links to these instances.

@jasonkoebler Time until, "this was a mistake" press release/response?
We all know, without a shadow of a doubt, that it's not a mistake.

@jasonkoebler I would like to see investigation about whether this is actually a new targeted response. Insta and Tok always like censoring exit links. Streamers who make their living there have to carefully couch their calls to action to not get taken down

@jasonkoebler Are there any concrete numbers, what "unprecedented levels of traffic" means?

@jasonkoebler I heard this rumor on Lemmy this morning too. The verdict was that they are not actually doing that.
It’s totally expected but they actually aren’t. These types of rumors have a tendency to grow legs. OP was doing some sketchy stuff FWIR.
