As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

You know, I think this whole situation could've been boiled down to just make an instance and defederate, instead we got the FediKaren of the year with their silly obscured list and petty shoddy ahh ddos script.

He actually did make an instance (dubvee DOT org, but please don't visit because the dev added JavaScript that tries to DDOS dbzer0 every time someone accesses dubvee).
