Reddit used to go down at least once a week. It's been at an all time high for availability over the last few years.

They eventually managed to ban enough subreddits/users to reach a state of reliablity...

They kept all of the high volume subreddits though.

Are you proposing that subreddits full of slurs are harder for the server to return as a byte-string?

Maybe subreddits full of slurs creates more reported content, and reddit never got to optimize the tables containing the reports, so if things gets more reported, database gets slower.

Not really, but fun to imagine.
