Silly places like reddit and Netflix simulate or force outages to see how prepared they are for them.

Hexbear has learned to embrace the outages, roll with them.

Trees break in the wind, grass bends

Ironically this used to be incredibly common for reddit. I remember back when digg died it wasn’t uncommon for reddit to go down every single day, sometimes multiple times per day. It was as unstable as Hexbear currently is, perhaps even more so.

Maybe their money is tied up in SVB and they can’t pay their server costs anymore?

we’d have the push-shift database so we could actually rescue all the knowledge.

I’m honestly still surprised the site outlived digg. I’ve been waiting for the current wave of social media to go the way of MySpace for, like, ten years now.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
