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 @[email protected] 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…
Really ramped up after the alt-right extremists on exploding heads were defederated from. There was also turmoil yesterday with the announcement that lemmy.world won’t federate with hexbear, and a lot of the users of that instance employ some shady tactics to influence and astroturf. Or it could just be some dumb troll. Who knows?..
