Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Most of these 'attacks' are targeted at the database, but some are more ddos-like and can be mitigated by using a CDN. Some other Lemmy servers are using Cloudflare, so we know that works. Therefore we have chosen Cloudflare as CDN / DDOS protection platform for now. We will look into other options, but we needed something to be implemented asap.

For the other attacks, we are using them to investigate and implement measures like rate limiting etc.

A lot of people don't like that they've basically inserted themselves as a man in the middle to a lot of internet traffic.

Why don't you close the subscription to Lemmy.world so new people will subscribe to smaller server so that if one has problem, not the majority of the people are affected by it? Isn't this supposed to be one of the main characteristic of the fediverse?

Am I the only one who'd have no issue with ads in lemmy? As long as they dont use too much space. Amount in ads in RiF was good for me, don't know if they earned much from it.

Money could go to app creator and instance owner, i don't care, as long as it helps running the community.
