When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status - eviltoast

Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

    We sustained an attack right after their defederation, I have no proof now, maybe time will tell.

        Not a claim, an hypotesis.
        Could also be wrongful intervention from Reddit interests. Could be both and some more.

          First we had redditors calling Lemmy a communist plot. Now we have the biggest instance run by paranoids seeing commie plots everywhere.

          My suggestion: stop using lemmydotworld, spread the load, stop being a clown.

          That is now how any of that works.

          post hoc ergo propter hoc

          You can be wrong, it doesn’t destroy your self. You don’t have to fear it.

            You mean to say :
            That is not how any of that works.

            Edit : Ridiculous down voting scheme if I ever saw one 🤣.

      Hexbear was also experiencing traffic which would fit DDoS, do you suggest that dot world did DDoS Hexbear, too?

      Who poisoned the well? Its the witches fault!

        Being the biggest instance and having defederated with a couple of instances has made us a target.

        This is a quote from L.W.AdmiS’ post :
        Lemmy World outages

        At the time I made my first comment in here, there was no word from any admin, so, I had that (hypothesis //hunch //educated_guess) whatever you may call it. And then I wrote : “time will tell”. Well, I had the confirmation I needed for that L.W.Admin.

        Finally, if you need some more information, you may search it by yourself - - I have nothing more to say.

      ~I really hope world can stay alive, they are in danger of completely undoing all of the work lemmy has done to get users. if they take world offline, that will create FUD that proves no point and gets people off lemmy saying “wow, I have nothing to show for my time, im going back to a stable site, maybe Reddit is the only safe place for content.”~
