Ok Moira_Mayhem.
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world you can post the chat here.
Offense usernames, namecalling or harassing volunteers who tried to help you could be an immediate ban also but here you are.
Do you agree with @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world posting the conversation you had with him in this thread so people know what it is about?
Correct
The admin you had a talk with posted the conversation and he was VERY fair towards you.
Congrats mate 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for everything you do with your instance and with fediseer.

Correct, I use both myself. Pihole is also my DHCP server and I created different blocklists for different devices on my network. For example, I have “general”, “media”, “gaming” and “kids”.
Also, real-debrid
Looks great, congratulations @silas@programming.dev !
Nothing is happening on alien.top. Set if to ‘local’ and ‘comments’ and there is a handful of comments from the last hour and before that it was 13 days ago
‘successful’
Ok just want to make it clear that we never suspected Hexbear to be involved. This started before we defederated with them.
It’s one of the reasons why we set the default to ‘all’ instead of ‘local’ on LW
We do not make up for 50% of the active users. Also we have plenty of moderators and admins, reports get handled pretty fast. It’s up to the community moderators first but if it takes too long one of the admins will step in.
And we will never close registrations.
No this had nothing to do with Hexbear
*allegedly
We are not sure who was behind the ddos. It could have been that guy or it could have been users from exploding-heads.com because we defederated with them.
Or it could just as well have been an admins from another instance that didn’t like LW was the biggest instance.
The only thing that was sure was that they knew very well how Lemmy worked and which actions caused the heaviest load on the server.
We couldn’t handle the ddos at times, the influx was never the problem. Every time that did become a problem we upgraded the hardware.
He means it’s not up to him to make sure the person serving him makes a decent wage. That’s up to the employer.
Everyone who works for a company is a ‘slave’ we are all being exploited, some more than others. But if you make less than minimum wage without tips then yes maybe look for another job.
Deleting your account in your home instance should remove all posts and it federated. But don’t blame the instance admins when it doesn’t federate well on every instance because Lemmy is buggy software.
