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.
-
My thoughts exactly, and also it makes it a pretty useless thing to DDoS for what ever reason.
-
Lol I got home from work and opened Lemmy.world. page loaded fine but I couldn't upvote and the comments wouldn't load. Tried again after restarting firefox and same thing. Switched to Lemdro.id and continued like it wasn't happening.
-
This is what we in the induatry call "Commitment to to shit postin'"
Thank you for your service!
-
-
Darn. Lemmy.world can't catch a break.
-
That’s what you get from being the most popular instance I guess.
-
And that's why people should spread out, as is the entire point of decentralization
-
-
My thoughts exactly
-
Spez trying to show who's in charge.
-
-
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.
-
Spez maybe?
-
Probably just a terrible person who is bored
-
As a terrible person who is bored, that seems like too much work
-
-
Or ThreatX, I believe they are more inexpensive than CF
-
I couldn’t load anything on Mlem for a few minutes but other than that it’s just been slow for me

That lmao dude that kept creating spam communities?

I’m browsing from an app via lemmy.world and haven’t noticed any issue yet. Testing to see if this actually posts.
-
In all honesty, I can see your comments from lemm.ee. I wonder if lemmy.world is back up now.
-
Everything is loading rather slow though I will say.
-
"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."
-
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 !fediverse@lemmy.ml
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.
-
The ace of spades!
-
I am 100% sure spez and his braindead followers are behind this and nobody can convince me otherwise.
-
Logged on from Lemmy.world through voyager to see if this comment posts…
Edit: looks like it works
-
It didn’t, can’t see it
-
Plot twist: user is blind
-

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.
-
Is Lemmy.world going to continue to be attacked since it’s one of the biggest?
-
hopefully not, they do have a good portion of communities.
-
I read another post today that said lemmy.world has stopped growing and other instances are catching up, which is good for everyone.
-
Probably. They need to find a way to protect the instance from stuff like this. Also applies to larger instances.
-
-
Someone or a group must have some hate towards Lemmy.World. Jeez.
-
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.

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]
-
and laughing all the way to the bank
-
Found the DDoSer.
-
-
-
This is why we can't have nice things!
-
People doing this are not part of the "we" here
Malicious actors and OG shit posters, we are not the same.
-
-
What am I doing right?
-
Interesting. That explains it. I'm glad I decided to make another account over here where the sht just works. Seems to be less issues so far, is that other's experience as well?
-
Same.
-
-
Is this due to meta threads thing?
-
Elon is at work
-
Why did you post this to asklemmy?
