I switched to lemm.ee, it's much more stable since it's not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world's performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it's just a little, it can make everyone's experience better.
That wouldn't surprise me, I've seen ddos's against smaller servers over dumber things.
But given that they preemptively ban instances for not supporting NATO and the IMF and don't preemptively ban nazi, transphobe, and pedophile instances, fuck em.
The fediverse is weaker if .world is allowed to color people's perception of Lemmy.
