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
Spez trying to show who’s in charge.
My thoughts exactly
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
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.
Looks like it didn’t work. We can’t see your post.
I can’t see either of your comments. Is this because I’m on lemmyworld also?
have you tried turning it on and off again?
I would have done so, but unfortunately, I couldn’t read your advice

Why did you just post *******?
Well surely you’ll be able to see mine.
I CAN SEE THIS. REMOVE THIS FROM MY PHONE. I DID NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS FACEBOOK. CRACKERBARGLE. I MUSTHAVE BEEN HACKED.
DORIS DIED LAST TUESDAY. RPLY IN BIG LETTERS LOST MY GLASSES AND CABT SEE SMALL ONES.
IS IT YOU JIM?
I also can’t see lifecoach5000’s test post
It’ll probably show up.
Everything is loading rather slow though I will say.
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.
Yes something like Cloudflare would be very good. Even I have it on my tiny test instance.
It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!
Spez maybe?
he’s an astroturfer though, is he really low enough to stoop to ddos? thankfully the fediverse is diverse and resilient to attacks to any one instance lol
He’d be. But his fanbois already do that for him so he doesn’t have to do it himself and worry about consequences.
You mean his employees?
No, I mean his fanbois. His employees would get paid to do that stuff and then there would also again be a way for him to bear the consequences. His fanbois don’t get paid and he doesn’t bear the risk.
It’s the rise spezkin. Super Reddit Hyper Loyalists so invested in their upcoming karma farming fortunes that any threat to Reddit gets met with scorched earth tactics.
…I’m only kidding, I hope this doesn’t become a thing.
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?
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
Why did you post this to asklemmy?
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.
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.

My thoughts exactly, and also it makes it a pretty useless thing to DDoS for what ever reason.
This is what we in the induatry call “Commitment to to shit postin’”
Thank you for your service!
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.
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.
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.
No need, there’s enough other better suited places where news like this can be discussed.
!fediverse@lemmy.ml perhaps? There’s already a post there.
People doing this are not part of the “we” here
Malicious actors and OG shit posters, we are not the same.
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!
Havent heard motorheads before. Thats funny.
I don’t get it. How that does have to do with lemmy
“It will be funny in about ten years” - Lemmy
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 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.
