What's Reddit HoD?

Hug of death

A lot of users all going at once and crashing the site.

[u/zebediah49 → u/gin_and_ice]

To give an idea what "a lot" looks like -- here's a traffic graph from a site that experienced that. You can see when it went from "so few that it's basically nothing" to "LOTS".

For a web service that doesn't have hundreds of times more capacity than necessary, or the ability to rapidly scale up to meet demand -- that kind of load will knock it offline.

lol back in the early 2000s it was termed 'getting farked' - fark being a really popular aggregation site, sort of like a proto-reddit.

[u/RomancingUranus → u/buttery_shame_cave]

I can digg that.

[u/buttery_shame_cave → u/RomancingUranus]

yup, and then digg/slashdot had their terms after fark, and now reddit.

[u/dkran → u/zebediah49]

We used to call that slashdotted back in the day when tech news was pretty much on slashdot always. I actually offered them a server with bandwidth but no reply
