Traffic for basically every site went up. People thought it was an internet-wide DDOS attack when it was just the 3B people on FB's properties finding entertainment elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure I saw reports that internet speed tests were going down as well from people checking their connections. I can't confirm it but if it's true, it's pretty interesting the chain reaction that occurred.
traffic at my job was funny, it was chaos trying to handle it, then facebook came back and you can see it in the charts the drop in requests. it was a pretty quick return to normal.
idk im surprised people just like didnt go do other things, like we just have to scroll?
