We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

Did something happen to lemmy.world?

I think this meme is about !cosmichorror@lemm.ee to !cosmichorror@piefed.social

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep.

Lol I didn't realise lemm.ee actually had communities of any notable size...

Edit: Lmao

What is making PieFed more resilient to this type of shenanigans? Is it something to do with the backend code not being written by tankies?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The meme said "shutting down" and not "going down", so I think it's about lemm.ee's shutdown and not DDOS attacks

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never mentioned anything about a DDOS. Why did you bring that up?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Someone that replied to you mentioned it, so I thought that's what we were talking about

[–] FlihpFlorp@piefed.zip 9 points 2 days ago

(I have no idea)

Well you see pie is divided into slices meaning we can cut the pie and distribute it to other instances. In addition to this pie is delicious so we wouldn’t want to shut it down, because then we’d have no pie. Based on this it has both perceived (in other words delicious) and realized resistance

[–] misk@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Piefed has built-in community migration feature which is why many migrated there when Lemm.ee shut down.

[–] teft@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Could be a case of not being big enough to target. I'd bet that if piefed takes off in popularity (which i'm sure will happen) some jackass will find a way to ddos or disrupt the service in some way.
