at least we’re just having outside agitators disrupt our site rather than the admins slitting its wrists and letting it bleed out [whilst sucking the blood]
and laughing all the way to the bank
Found the DDoSer.
Why did you post this to asklemmy?
Is this due to meta threads thing?
What am I doing right?
Darn. Lemmy.world can’t catch a break.
My thoughts exactly
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.
I’m browsing from an app via lemmy.world and haven’t noticed any issue yet. Testing to see if this actually posts.
Looks like it didn’t work. We can’t see your post.
I also can’t see lifecoach5000’s test post
All I see is hunter2
hunter2
Why did you just post *******?
It’ll probably show up.
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 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
I only see hunter2 what do you see?
In all honesty, I can see your comments from lemm.ee. I wonder if lemmy.world is back up now.
Everything is loading rather slow though I will say.
This isn’t an open ended question and as such doesn’t belong on this community. You’re welcome to continue the discussion over at [email protected]
I’ll lock the thread but not remove it so that you can see what has been said so far.
Thanks for the update, but this breaks rule #1 - it’s not a question and the community is Ask Lemmy. We can leave this up for a few hours so that there’s a central place to chat.
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.
Suggestions? Then we have a concrete place to point people towards.
[email protected] perhaps? There’s already a post there.
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.
Elon is at work
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.
Elon
Or ThreatX, I believe they are more inexpensive than CF
Yes something like Cloudflare would be very good. Even I have it on my tiny test instance.
It doesn’t break federation? I recall it broke federation for kbin, thought it’d be the same for Lemmy sue to the underlying tech being the same.
It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!
inb4 lemmygrad
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.
Brands don’t have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.
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
Huffman/Musk
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
“The free exchange of communication and ideas, unrestricted by capitalist interference? Can’t have that kind of evil in the world. Surely it’s my duty to shut this down, so that others may come to know the flavor of corporate boot leather as well as I have.”
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.
