There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.
Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!
Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @[email protected] for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…
Hexbear was just defederated so that could have something to do with it
Hexbear wasn’t federated to begin with.
Yeah, but they were planning on it and I could see the block leading to some sour grapes
It’s almost like people so online as to be proud to call themselves “tankies” (yet whine when people call them that) were literally planning to brigade and shit post.
I’m pretty damn left wing, but these people consider listening to podcasts and taking over the mod teams of subreddits to be revolutionary praxis.

A very pro-communist instance was blocked from interacting with all of Lemmy.world.
Communists mad about Free Association? Say it ain’t so!

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing that it’s the admins’ right to block hexbear, I was just pointing out that may have led to this attack. Only speculation though
