Hi guys,

Another ddos attack so site was slow/unavailable for a while.

I disabled the alternative user interfaces since they are used in the attacks. Will think of some better long term solutions. 🥊 😄

    Could be random user just doesn’t like some other random user with this as their home instance. They don’t know the user’s IP address, but do know the home instance’s and so decided that a way to attack them would be to DDoS the home instance.

    IRC had people DoSing other users (and even servers) as part of people getting in fights there.

    Thanks for looking into it, @[email protected].

      This makes a lot of sense! I personally have had my own little stalkers (there was a guy who created an entire bot army to go against me, got called out on it, then disappeared lol) on here because people just can’t go outside and touch grass sometimes. So your scenario wouldn’t surprise me at all. lol
