Could repeatedly privating and unprivating a sub crash Reddit? (lemmy.world)

When all the subs went private for the blackout it caused Reddit to crash. Suggests that it's a resource-intensive task for their backend.

In honour of Thanos wanting to halve the universe's population, the subreddit banned half of the users that were subbed/active; About ~350k banned from the sub.
