We’re getting scapegoated for the DDOS attack that affected us too yesterday, all because @[email protected] made one (admittedly kinda funny) joke here.

Normally I wouldn’t post petty internet bullshit like this but I thought our admins should know.

Edit: Entire thread is a gold mine for dunk tank material tho

Edit2: Now the Spook of @[email protected] is getting namedropped

Edit3: So after some digging (read: 5 mins browsing lemmy instances) another user made this post saying the attacker was someone with a personal beef with .world completely unrelated to us? Documented methodology of attack is different but similar to the spam bot we got hit with too, but idk I’m just amateur hour here not an OpSec pro.

Edit4: I was trying to click on the links provided in that post to check but lemmy.world is down
