for some context -- the night before least (because of a hardware failure requiring a replacement psu) we peaked over 580k unique visitors who didn't on several triggers trip the automated/scraping blocks. the server was absolutely pegged for hours like an America first supporter at his first afpac. last night it was at 580k two hours before peak but I fucked up and rebooted and that's when the power supply let go I guess. the fact there was 500k people on the poast nitter at once was crazy but then I realized people are posting it to 2-3m user subreddits. it's all over 4chan, even a bunch of links a day on twitter (???)

tldr I appreciate the help and please give me more suggestions and help because I'm running out of ideas
