    This is why we need to move more communities off lemmy.world. Resilience in decentralization

    Am… I the only one who literally wouldn’t even notice lemmy.world going down… if it were not for the posts they are making, regarding their downtime?

      Nah, same here. If anything, the mild drama has brought even more interactive content to my feed. Like a type of a Streisand phenom or something; it’s kinda having the opposite effect for me.

      Definitely a lot of wasted energy by pissy people, who get satisfaction from punching air. They could certainly channel it to something better for everyone… but I’m enjoying myself regardless. The only person who can waste your time is yourself, so I hope whoever’s being bitchy is at least getting something out of it… cause it looks about as productive as a tantrum to me, and just as funny to watch.

      Whoever’s being all butt-hurt out there… I’m laughing at you, not with you. And if you’re that mad, maybe take your energy and use it to help someone offline. Nobody here will care in a little bit anyway.

      Actually, I’ma donate lemme.world a fiver just to drive home my point. Barbara Streisand or some shit lol

    Thing is, these terrorists aren’t trying to destroy the fediverse, they are trying to retaliate specifically against lemmy.world

      How petty do you have to be to hold a grudge towards a specific Lemmy instance? It’s like they’re children who got banned from their favorite Minecraft server.

        If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

        Do i really have to explain such a simple thing to someone. Holy shit it’s like im on Reddit again.

        EDIT: Holy shit i am talking about those morons DDOSing lemmy.world

          Lol “no good reason” does not apply to the decisions the Lemmy.world admins have made for which instances to defederate from or what content to allow. They have been very straight forward with those decisions and explaining why.

          Not liking their decision doesn’t mean there is “no good reason”.

            Explaining the reason for making a decision doesn’t mean it’s an actual good reason btw.

                No, I don’t. They chose to preemptively defederate from an instance because some people might maybe not actually break their rules but just talk about their ideologies that the precious admin didn’t agree with.

                Why not just handle rule breakers if and when they break rules? Why ban an entire instance because you disagree with some of their ideologies?

                Can you explain why you agree with their stance, if you do?

          Are you talking about the DDoSers or the admins of lemmy.world? Because, yes, everyone who is trying to use lemmy.world that can’t should hold a grudge against the skids who bought a DDoS service subscription.

          If you’re talking about the admins, you should be more specific. Are you saying that them defederating from another instance is a good reason for that other instance’s users to hold a grudge and DDoS? Because I would bed to differ if that’s the case.

          It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:

          If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

          This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

          then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

          Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

          The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”

      Idk if I’d go so far as saying they’re terrorists, they aren’t using violence. But the vibe and dedication makes me think it’s the same person that got mad that they couldn’t run every community on the instance or some shit and then proceeded to spam create hundreds of communities

    Donate a dollar to Lemmy org, lemmy.world, and your own instance. Raise awareness and funds, so the DDoS attackers can feel good about themselves for something besides just bitching behind a curtain
