Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don’t have to worry about this stuff
Hopefully they don’t try to mess with Beehaw, y’all are too nice :)

First account: vlemmy.net - went down 2 days later Second account: lemmy.world - has been DDOSed twice and hacked once the week after making the account Third account: this one.
Which instance do you want me to tank next? Apparently I’m pretty good at it!
Do lemmygrad
Do I have to touch it :(
lemm.ee! The lead admin is top notch, he contributes directly to the lemmy codebase and implements his working mods there before they get accepted. He was also one of the key helpers in the first lemmy.world hack (which incidentally lemm.ee was immune to).
I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interests to encourage mass users to any single instance. That “everybody get in this same room” behavior is part of the problem.
Lemmy and the fediverse depend upon users distributing themselves across many reliable instances. More users in a single instance equals more demand on that individual server and more vulnerability based on that single server’s status.
