Hey there! I tried loading up beehaw from my computer, and I am getting hit with a crowd sec ban? I can still access just fine from jerboa and mobile, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Is anyone else getting hit by this? Did my ip get banned for some reason?

    No, this isn’t your or any other users fault. It’s due to the way Lemmy interacts with the backend, and was hitting some rate limit issues which made it look like an ‘attack’. From a LOT of different users. Also known as a distributed denial of service attack. Not your fault!

    Thanks again for bringing to our attention, I’ll keep an eye on this one.
