After a thread was made in !support@lemmy.world asking to defederate from lemmy.dbzer0.com for “the facilitation of piracy, and copyright infringement in general which is illegal”, the admins of lemmy.world deleted it prompting discussions on !asklemmy[@]lemmy.ml and !piracy[@]lemmy.dbzer0.com.
World is trash and it needs to be broken up. The admins are trash, their rules are trash, they’re full of nazis and they go down all of the time. It’s profoundly stupid that we let them be the on ramp. We should all defederate from them to force an exodus.
Hard to fault them for the down time being that they’re getting regularly hit with ddos attacks. Someone sure wants them gone.
Yes it is. That’s a solvable issue.
They have “solved” it many times. The people doing it clearly know what the most resource intensive requests are with Lemmy, and whenever one vector is patched they come up with another.
To be clear: every Lemmy instance has the same vulnerability as World does. World is likely getting attacked because they’re the biggest. They aren’t having any other kind of resource issue - it’s not a problem because of the number of people.
I’m personally faulting the people attacking it and not the admins. They didn’t cause the situation, and I’m not going to let assholes manipulate me into leaving.
I mean if their poor performance continues, people will probably either stop using it or stop recommending it
It’s been like this since I got here. They take some sort of weird pride in it being terribly run.
