Congrats mate 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for everything you do with your instance and with fediseer.

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 means it’s not up to him to make sure the person serving him makes a decent wage. That’s up to the employer.

Everyone who works for a company is a ‘slave’ we are all being exploited, some more than others. But if you make less than minimum wage without tips then yes maybe look for another job.

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…

Or block it?

Hey Unruffled. I know you had your opinion back when we made that unpopular move too ;) But whatever the users here might think, the contact between most instance admins over on the matrix channels is pretty good and helpful. We might not all allign all the time but there is always respect and understanding. And I think you can confirm that everyone just tries to help each other there no matter what the differences.

I contacted db0 soon after we blocked those communities and have always been in good contact with him since. He understood our situation very well. And as you know yourself Lemmy World has been very active and very publicly pushing the fediseer project. Again, we have our differences but we all want Lemmy to succeed.

Appreciate you dude!

I don’t care dude lol. Why should I post this, we have always tried to be as transparent as possible over at Lemmy World. But we’re not going to release documents that would allow doxxing.

No

And we Love every single downvote you got from these fine people, too ❤️

For those that don’t know what “fosscad” is, it was a community where they were sharing 3D printing schematics for guns and other weapons. Which is an entirely different legal nightmare with different laws in different countries.

If anyone wants to apply as our fall guy hmu
