Lemmy.world can't catch a break.

[-] Moohamin12@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

They are the biggest, so the target is larger or at least more well known.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

I now exist on two lemmies. Behold the power of the fediverse!

laughs in unison

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That's the power of virtual mitosis, baby

[-] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I now exist on two lemmies.

They're instances, or servers. Lemmy is the platform.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Lemmy tell you, in this instance, I'm not being literal.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Just clarifying. It's a mistake I see a lot around here.

I hate assholes that do this. Why? I mean really why?

[-] FutileRecipe@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Namely assholes.

The only DDoS that I can half-way tolerate is ones that go against corporations/governments that do evil shit. And even then, those attacks had better not effect people's health and welfare needs. Yes, assholes abound.

Children. They’re children. Let’s not call these childish little bastards “men”!

[-] FutileRecipe@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Apologies, it can also be women. I'm just constrained by the quote.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Hopefully this crap is contributing to Lemmy overall being stronger. If the developers can plug the holes in the overall architecture so systemic vulnerabilities are minimal, and people make accounts on multiple instances and just switch when one is down, it might take the "fun" out of taking an instance down.

[-] axsyse@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

DDOS is a pretty brute-force attack, so it isn't typically relying on a vulnerability per se. Pretty much the only way to mitigate it is to have large enough infrastructure that you can detect and filter out its gobs of spammy traffic, which no Lemmy instances (at least at the moment) can really practically have. They could potentially use a service like CloudFlare, which does have that infrastructure in place, but that can be expensive. I'd imagine CloudFlare (or a competitor) is probably the best solution they can go with, at least in the short-term.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, for this one I was meaning the alternate account part. But this one is just the latest in a string, most of which were vulnerabilities or flaws in the architecture. I could have been more clear though.

[-] simple@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

They're back, but performance is a bit slow.

[-] DharkStare@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

With all the problems lemmy.world has been having, I've been using the opportunity to test out kbin as well.

Hopefully the Lemmy devs will be able to sort out all the problems.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Easy target since it's so big. I still think it's madness to have so many users on one instance. But I guess people need to learn...

[-] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

lemmy.ml has been unreachable or "Error" page with lemmy-ui off an on for past 90 minutes.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Again??

Edit: I know the last wasn't DDOS, but still.
