I get that you’re upset about the piracy community being blocked, but calling the lemmy.world admins incompetent is completely uncalled for. The site’s been hit with intermittent DDOS attacks, and since Lemmy is a fairly new platform there aren’t a lot of tools to mitigate these attacks. Hence the need for cloudflare.

Being the biggest instance, lemmy.world gets to experience all the growing pains of scaling up Lemmy first. The lemmy.world admins have been on top of things and open about status updates throughout all this. They’ve even found solutions to issues in the Lemmy code and issued pull requests to implement them.. And they’re doing this as unpaid volunteers.
