HN having server issues when a single post gets 1200 comments in two hours is pretty normal. I don't think any issues with the wider internet are implied

I think they meant the keynote resulted in massive traffic to HN resulting in HN giving itself the hug of death.

Totally plausible provided the overlap in communities.
