There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.
Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!
Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @[email protected] for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…
Why would you attack Lemmy in the first place? I guess it’s probably because you can for some wierd people.
Some people just do because they are mean and have the knowledge to do so.
Really ramped up after the alt-right extremists on exploding heads were defederated from. There was also turmoil yesterday with the announcement that lemmy.world won’t federate with hexbear, and a lot of the users of that instance employ some shady tactics to influence and astroturf. Or it could just be some dumb troll. Who knows?..
Because their mommy was mean to them today - (told them to take a shower).
Because their hot pockets burned their mouths.
Because they have a micropenis.
Because they see themselves as helping make the site better.
D. All of the above
