Hi there,

I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many nefarious actors trying to break it and I don’t have the time or energy to keep fighting them off.

For your information: Over the pas month I have had to:

  1. Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) signups.
  2. Delete a bunch of literal white noise uploads that filled my 4TB picture storage… Twice.
  3. Repair Lemmy (or rather pictures) after it crashed because of full storage.

I will keep waveform.social active until Friday next week so you can pull data from here, though I expect most of it has been federated to other servers anyway.

    Daaaaaaaamn, my community was just getting some traction. It’s crazy people’s lives are so devoid of purpose that they choose to spend it attacking a relatively small music-based instance.

    Thanks for dealing with it as long as you did. Guess it’s time to pack up and move to another instance :/
