spez to the investors:

> No, you see, it was not a protest, it was simply a small outage, nothing to worry about.

Joking aside, I have a few bots monitoring content and I saw ~10% drops in comment activity before the outage (vs. the baseline from last week).



There is a lot of fake/controlled activity and frequently this is leveraged against tech executives.


You saw 10% comment drops in subreddits still available or are you saying 10% of comments overall on all of reddit including the privacy subreddits?


On all still available. I don't expect (recently) privated subs to have a ton of activity anyway.


10% drops in overall comments so average pre and post or 10% in comment rates? I only ask out pure curiosity. I don't expect Reddit will ever publish engagement impacts during this period.
