Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

Even more of a reason to

1 - have an account on multiple instances

2 - support multiple instances. Can't take everyone down at once!

First account: vlemmy.net - went down 2 days later Second account: lemmy.world - has been DDOSed twice and hacked once the week after making the account Third account: this one.

Which instance do you want me to tank next? Apparently I’m pretty good at it!
