Was this something you had prepared, like a metaphorical switch that disabled said features?
Or was it something you guys had to figure out on the spot? "Fuck it, we'll do it live" sort of deal?
I also noticed that the website worked more or less as advertised, but on mobile (my main platform) it was a mess. I assume mobile is the majority of traffic nowadays?
Thanks :)

Disabling Reddit features is something they've had for quite some time. The way I usually saw it manifest in the past was that feeds and comment pages would go read-only if the site was overloaded (voting/commenting disabled). It doesn't surprise me that they have kill switches for other aspects of the site too.
