For what I understood isn’t really the load caused by the users but the load caused by targeted DDOS attacks. Why would anyone attack a Lemmy instance? Humanity…

Maybe it was spez 🤔 /s

You’re joking but i quite believe Reddit would do it.

Spending 100 bucks on your nephews to run some code on their home connections - Priceless.

Apparently it's a wannabe powermod who got banned after squatting a ton of community names. There was a post from the admins saying that he's creating garbage communities, with a quarter of all communities being those at one point.

Who you are talking about is indeed an option because he was genuinely pissed off.. He created scripts to create thousands of communities so we set up rate limits 😁 But there are plenty more who don't want LW to succeed. Be it banned users, defederated instances or just someone with too much time looking to take down the biggest instance.

There was also a (now banned) reddit mod who used to moderate gamingcirclejerk there and she demanded me to hand over the gamingcirclejerk community on LW to her. To just take it from the current team. I said no but I can be a middleman but she wanted none of that. She wanted the red carpet laid out 'because reddit mod' so she had the right to it 🙄 She was also a very known user on an instance we recently defederated with.

So just wanted to clear that up here. We have suspicions but no proof. Thanks for your support 🫶

Its the internet. What can be attacked will be attacked. Unrelated to opinions or hatred or anything.
