If you call this thread a success you are delusional. You’re condescending to everyone that doesn’t agree with your viewpoints. Which isn’t really new to me

How about no?

Ok just want to make it clear that we never suspected Hexbear to be involved. This started before we defederated with them.

He is not simping, it’s his instance so ofcourse he is giving his POV

Which we did at LW. They started spamming some communities with this and we defederated.

Lemmy World defederated as soon as we became aware of this instance.

It is created by @rglullis@communick.news who said this was something requested by many but we really didn’t see the advantage of it.

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 was already banned, this was an alt of @PepeLivesMatter@lemmy.today. Banned this account now too. At least on LW.

Nice! Cool to see this project evolve

They never had to deal with DDOS like LW. But agreed, they have a very capable team. Hi @ijeff@lemdro.id <3

Are you talking about Lemmy World? Because that has noticeably improved over the last few months.

Good thing you already put just “Disagreeing” in quotes.

Holy shit. “but what about climate change and education”. Goodbye

For everyone complaining about bots you have two that come and tell you that they are glad? I highly doubt it seeing the activity in those communities. You’re not the first one to do this reddit botspam, and our actions against these have been very consistent.

You can look that up here: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

You create a bot that goes against our publicly-available policy and then you get mad we don’t want to change that policy for you. These rules about bots were put in place because our users requested it. And we are far from the only instance with that policy. Try to do the same on lemm.ee

Our announcement on the bot rules: https://lemmy.world/post/1860512 Another thread on Reddit repost bots: https://lemmy.world/post/4844752

Replied somewhere in this thread already but I’ll post it again here. Reddit mirroring bots are not allowed on Lemmy World. We blocked the communities and defederated from the alien.top instance. I’ll add them to fediseer.com later.

Our rules for bots https://lemmy.world/post/1860512

These bots go against the Lemmy World rules on bots. Yes they need the approval from the moderator but they can not just import unmoderated content from reddit.
