Ok just want to make it clear that we never suspected Hexbear to be involved. This started before we defederated with them.

It’s one of the reasons why we set the default to ‘all’ instead of ‘local’ on LW

We do not make up for 50% of the active users. Also we have plenty of moderators and admins, reports get handled pretty fast. It’s up to the community moderators first but if it takes too long one of the admins will step in.

And we will never close registrations.

No this had nothing to do with Hexbear

*allegedly

We are not sure who was behind the ddos. It could have been that guy or it could have been users from exploding-heads.com because we defederated with them.

Or it could just as well have been an admins from another instance that didn’t like LW was the biggest instance.

The only thing that was sure was that they knew very well how Lemmy worked and which actions caused the heaviest load on the server.

We couldn’t handle the ddos at times, the influx was never the problem. Every time that did become a problem we upgraded the hardware.

Who is the the clown though, you brought absolutely nothing to this conversation - just trying to be funny and failing.

Banned them

You know that if your kbin.social account did not give you access to Lemmy content there would not be much left, right? You use kbin to access Lemmy content…

You know enough about ‘MAP’ to bring it up and pretend it’s no biggie and could become a thing? Those aren’t marginalized people this is a piss-poor attempt to lump Pedos with the LGBTQ crowd. Off you go

I personally use https://dashy.to/ because you can also add links to your externally hosted services should you want to.

Subbed to all of them :)

Heya bud! You know we were talking about this very thing on Matrix today. For now we’re removing some of the spammy kbin.social communities on Lemmy World but that seems to be a bit bugged as well.

When we announced the move - the kbin developer actually showed up to explain that it hasn’t been easy for him to catch up with these spammers either. This is the comment https://lemmy.world/comment/3558276 - good news is there are some changes coming up. So fingers crossed we don’t have to deal with this for long.

Could you do us a favor and send all info about this to [email protected]? I would like to have a look at what’s going on. This is ridiculous if true.

Thanks!

Crimedad strikes again

I’m not addicted it’s just a habit!

But it was true though I quit after 30 years of smoking - just went cold turkey. First few days were a bit rough because you have those moments during the day when you light one up (after eating, leaving work, …), habits.

But it’s been a month so 💪
