Ok just want to make it clear that we never suspected Hexbear to be involved. This started before we defederated with them.

It’s one of the reasons why we set the default to ‘all’ instead of ‘local’ on LW

We do not make up for 50% of the active users. Also we have plenty of moderators and admins, reports get handled pretty fast. It’s up to the community moderators first but if it takes too long one of the admins will step in.

And we will never close registrations.

No this had nothing to do with Hexbear

*allegedly

We are not sure who was behind the ddos. It could have been that guy or it could have been users from exploding-heads.com because we defederated with them.

Or it could just as well have been an admins from another instance that didn’t like LW was the biggest instance.

The only thing that was sure was that they knew very well how Lemmy worked and which actions caused the heaviest load on the server.

We couldn’t handle the ddos at times, the influx was never the problem. Every time that did become a problem we upgraded the hardware.

He was already banned, this was an alt of @PepeLivesMatter@lemmy.today. Banned this account now too. At least on LW.

In a VM you can not really use your GPU so that’s not the way to go about it. So no, you seem uninformed

You know that if your kbin.social account did not give you access to Lemmy content there would not be much left, right? You use kbin to access Lemmy content…

I personally use https://dashy.to/ because you can also add links to your externally hosted services should you want to.

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

Could you do us a favor and send all info about this to info@lemmy.world? I would like to have a look at what’s going on. This is ridiculous if true.

Thanks!

I recognize the font in those screenshots. An exploding head user called Megan used the same. They are easy to recognize since they only had like 10 active people before the instance shut down.

I just wanted to point that out too. These screenshots have TheDude saying he doesn’t want a minimum of karma to post and others are just random out of context screenshots.

Terrinefirex never confirmed he was an admin. He seemed to be there only to bash Lemmy world and when asked what his instance was he didn’t want to say because “fear of retaliation”. Which made us think it was exploding heads or worse.

OP just had her account banned and now created a new one for some drama.

I’m not addicted it’s just a habit!

But it was true though I quit after 30 years of smoking - just went cold turkey. First few days were a bit rough because you have those moments during the day when you light one up (after eating, leaving work, …), habits.

But it’s been a month so 💪
