HN hug of death?

A /r/rust reddit thread is nothing compared to front page HN.

To be fair, at the time I wrote my comment the Reddit post had 400+ votes and the HN one was in the early double digits IIRC.

anyone remembers the term "slashdotted"?

Oh to be young again

No, where did this come from?

https://slashdot.org/ was quite a popular source of tech-related news back in the very late 20th and early 21th century
