Hi guys,

Another ddos attack so site was slow/unavailable for a while.

I disabled the alternative user interfaces since they are used in the attacks. Will think of some better long term solutions. 🥊 😄

Man this sucks. What kind of dickweed DDoSs a lemmy instance? Hope this isn’t causing too much trouble for you.

Its alright but I also dont know what the point is. Its not like the hundreds of lemmy instances is going anywhere. We are all here to stay around and offer an alternative to big tech platforms. They can ddos a few of us but not all.

What annoys me most is that they use their malicious energy to attack small innocent websites instead of going after the big evil ones.

Script kiddies gotta hone their skills somewhere safe before going after the big game
