We're getting scapegoated for the DDOS attack that affected us too yesterday, all because @[email protected] made one (admittedly kinda funny) joke here.

Normally I wouldn't post petty internet bullshit like this but I thought our admins should know.

Edit: Entire thread is a gold mine for dunk tank material tho

Edit2: Now the Spook of @[email protected] is getting namedropped

Edit3: So after some digging (read: 5 mins browsing lemmy instances) another user made this post saying the attacker was someone with a personal beef with .world completely unrelated to us? Documented methodology of attack is different but similar to the spam bot we got hit with too, but idk I'm just amateur hour here not an OpSec pro.

Edit4: I was trying to click on the links provided in that post to double check but lemmy.world went down data-laughing

Edit5: Official Statement

So who is attacking us? One thing that is clear is that those responsible of these attacks know the ins and outs of Lemmy. They know which database requests are the most taxing and they are always quick to find another as soon as we close one off. That’s one of the only things we know for sure about our attackers. Being the biggest instance and having defederated with a couple of instances has made us a target.

Damn, I never knew what it was like to live somewhere rent-free until now

I tried lemm.ee and it’s cool but I see so many hexbear posts on the All tab from like any of their communities spewing hate and it’s frustrating to scroll past

Lmao must be rough

I made a hate post. I said I hate all Magpies because the other day one took my pizza slice when I had my head turned and wouldn't give it back. And I'm pretty sure it was laughing at me.

Hi. I'm not a local, but I chronically sort by All. I don't think I've seen a single post from y'all that had any genuine sense of vitriol. In fact, I find this instance to have a sense of humor that I would describe as "inclusively self disparaging". I fucks with that.

The loudest voices on lemmy.world have zero sense of humor, combined with a victim complex. It's not fun.

As evidenced by them seriously thinking someone oh hexbear hacked their shit.
