I can't speak to anything else, but as of 15 seconds ago, the passport website appears to be functioning normally.

Ah, thank you. The mods are definitely going after the wrong thing then. Jumping to conclusions and fearmongering are different, this is the first.
It's a legit fear based off all the bullshit they've been doing, government websites and services are going down left and right or undergoing maintenance despite claims from the government they're not. So at the time, and even still now, it is definitely totally understandable to think they're attacking another thing.
It's better to wait for confirmation for sure, but given our situation this is not the same category as fearmongering. People are mostly trying to get info out because mainstream media has failed us. As mentioned elsewhere, the last couple of weeks have seen things said that are revealed true within hours. It's not fearmongering when it's clearly just people trying to spread info about what they're doing, and fast because these evil bastards are working fast.
Bottom line: mods should be moderating comment sections a fuckton better than they currently are, as that's where the problems actually are, while the sort of posts they're talking about are usually taken care of quick. Like there are tons of comments on other posts that violate rule 1 that are up for hours while that sort of post they linked is gone within an hour. Make it make sense.
