There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.

Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!

Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @sunaurus@lemm.ee for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…

    or maybe some users of some instance who were dissatisfied with some decision? Who knows

          Yeah, but they were planning on it and I could see the block leading to some sour grapes

            It’s almost like people so online as to be proud to call themselves “tankies” (yet whine when people call them that) were literally planning to brigade and shit post.

            I’m pretty damn left wing, but these people consider listening to podcasts and taking over the mod teams of subreddits to be revolutionary praxis.

          A very pro-communist instance was blocked from interacting with all of Lemmy.world.

            well, It’s not my server, whoever has the headache of administering, maintaining and paying for it has the right to make the decisions they see fit. And anyone who wants to can go visit this other instance.

              I don’t think anyone is disagreeing that it’s the admins’ right to block hexbear, I was just pointing out that may have led to this attack. Only speculation though
