    Thanks for the update, but this breaks rule #1 - it’s not a question and the community is Ask Lemmy. We can leave this up for a few hours so that there’s a central place to chat.

      No problem, your call. I knew this is mostly outside of the community rules but assumed that a bunch of “what’s going on with lemmy.world?” questions will pop up quickly so might as well cross post it here. Feel free to remove when this blows over.

      Then change the title of the post to something open-ended like “How vulnerable is Lemmy to DDOS attacks?”. Taking out a major node which hosts many key communities is going to have an adverse impact.

    Strangely, this is what makes the Federated system so much better than centralized systems. Lemmy.world goes down? No problem I can switch to one of my other accounts in an instant and keep going.

    Who would be so pissed at lemmy.world to DDoS them?

    They might want to consider using Cloudflare or a similar solution if they don’t already.

        Brands don’t have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.

          It’s the rise spezkin. Super Reddit Hyper Loyalists so invested in their upcoming karma farming fortunes that any threat to Reddit gets met with scorched earth tactics.

          …I’m only kidding, I hope this doesn’t become a thing.

        he’s an astroturfer though, is he really low enough to stoop to ddos? thankfully the fediverse is diverse and resilient to attacks to any one instance lol

          He’d be. But his fanbois already do that for him so he doesn’t have to do it himself and worry about consequences.

              No, I mean his fanbois. His employees would get paid to do that stuff and then there would also again be a way for him to bear the consequences. His fanbois don’t get paid and he doesn’t bear the risk.

        It doesn’t break federation? I recall it broke federation for kbin, thought it’d be the same for Lemmy sue to the underlying tech being the same.

          It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!

    “The free exchange of communication and ideas, unrestricted by capitalist interference? Can’t have that kind of evil in the world. Surely it’s my duty to shut this down, so that others may come to know the flavor of corporate boot leather as well as I have.”

    I’m browsing from an app via lemmy.world and haven’t noticed any issue yet. Testing to see if this actually posts.

    This isn’t an open ended question and as such doesn’t belong on this community. You’re welcome to continue the discussion over at [email protected]

    I’ll lock the thread but not remove it so that you can see what has been said so far.

    This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.

    at least we’re just having outside agitators disrupt our site rather than the admins slitting its wrists and letting it bleed out [whilst sucking the blood]

    Is Lemmy.world going to continue to be attacked since it’s one of the biggest?

    • heartfelthumburger

      Probably. They need to find a way to protect the instance from stuff like this. Also applies to larger instances.

      I read another post today that said lemmy.world has stopped growing and other instances are catching up, which is good for everyone.

      I hate how these types of sad people with excuses for a life actually exist.

      I express no sympathy at all towards them because these are the people because of whom we can’t have nice things, they are undeserving of sympathy.
      If they wanted my sympathy for their sociopathy they should go to therapy instead of wasting their time destroying everything that brings even the slightest amount of joy to others just because they can’t feel joy themselves and can’t handle other people and communities thriving.

      Fuck LMAO and his ilk.

    Damn, hackers are being really uncool towards lemmy.world. Hopefully some good can come from this and they can implement robust security systems that help protect Lemmy instances from these types of attacks.
