Thing is, these terrorists aren't trying to destroy the fediverse, they are trying to retaliate specifically against lemmy.world
How petty do you have to be to hold a grudge towards a specific Lemmy instance? It's like they're children who got banned from their favorite Minecraft server.
If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to "hold a grudge" against them for.
Do i really have to explain such a simple thing to someone. Holy shit it's like im on Reddit again.
EDIT: Holy shit i am talking about those morons DDOSing lemmy.world
It is like reddit. People without reading comphrension are everywhere.
I mean the person doing the DDoS attack is the one with the grudge.
Makes sense
Lol "no good reason" does not apply to the decisions the Lemmy.world admins have made for which instances to defederate from or what content to allow. They have been very straight forward with those decisions and explaining why.
Not liking their decision doesn't mean there is "no good reason".
Explaining the reason for making a decision doesn’t mean it’s an actual good reason btw.
Do you think they had good reasons? If not, care to explain why?
No, I don’t. They chose to preemptively defederate from an instance because some people might maybe not actually break their rules but just talk about their ideologies that the precious admin didn’t agree with.
Why not just handle rule breakers if and when they break rules? Why ban an entire instance because you disagree with some of their ideologies?
Can you explain why you agree with their stance, if you do?
That's what i said. I am in favor of defederating from terrorist instances.
Are you talking about the DDoSers or the admins of lemmy.world? Because, yes, everyone who is trying to use lemmy.world that can't should hold a grudge against the skids who bought a DDoS service subscription.
If you're talking about the admins, you should be more specific. Are you saying that them defederating from another instance is a good reason for that other instance's users to hold a grudge and DDoS? Because I would bed to differ if that's the case.
I am in favor of lemmy.world
You completely misunderstood that reply. Joyjoy was also talking about the DDOSers.
It's worded confusingly. Let me see if I'm correct here:
This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack
Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight
The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like "The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something"
Idk if I'd go so far as saying they're terrorists, they aren't using violence. But the vibe and dedication makes me think it's the same person that got mad that they couldn't run every community on the instance or some shit and then proceeded to spam create hundreds of communities
Yes, terrorists
Let's not call them terrorists lol. It's prolly just some kids
