There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.

Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!

Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @sunaurus@lemm.ee for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…

    The attack today was wild, someone kept hammering lemmy.world for like 4~5 hours straight. Where do the attacks come from? Maybe also report to law enforcement? (even though practically speaking the chances that they are going to do something about it are very slim)

    Hexbear started making a big deal out of the defederation by lemmy.world today on their instance and it’s possible that their script kiddies might have felt the need to retaliate.

        For real… especially since the “problems with comments” are really convenient for the Mods who seem to be censoring the opposition they are getting to the hexbear defederation left & right - my absolutely civil disagreements were just deleted.
