CmdrShepard, in If people using Reddit are called Redditors, then what do we call people who use Lemmy?

Lemmonese sounds good to me!

dogma11, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

~800 hours into PAYDAY 2

~1800 hours in various sim racing games, assetto corsa, project cars 2, dirt rally/DR2, rFactor2.

And some ~300 hours in Stationeers

randomTingler, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

My pc is logged in with my reddit account. Few Google results take me to reddit, I use only that time. I don’t visit reddit to see what’s happening there.

Thanks for the update, but this breaks rule #1 - it’s not a question and the community is Ask Lemmy. We can leave this up for a few hours so that there’s a central place to chat.

profilelost,

No need, there’s enough other better suited places where news like this can be discussed.

Suggestions? Then we have a concrete place to point people towards.

floofloof,

!fediverse perhaps? There’s already a post there.

Burns,

No problem, your call. I knew this is mostly outside of the community rules but assumed that a bunch of “what’s going on with lemmy.world?” questions will pop up quickly so might as well cross post it here. Feel free to remove when this blows over.

aussiematt,

Then change the title of the post to something open-ended like “How vulnerable is Lemmy to DDOS attacks?”. Taking out a major node which hosts many key communities is going to have an adverse impact.

“The free exchange of communication and ideas, unrestricted by capitalist interference? Can’t have that kind of evil in the world. Surely it’s my duty to shut this down, so that others may come to know the flavor of corporate boot leather as well as I have.”

Strangely, this is what makes the Federated system so much better than centralized systems. Lemmy.world goes down? No problem I can switch to one of my other accounts in an instant and keep going.

Resolved3874,

Lol I got home from work and opened Lemmy.world. page loaded fine but I couldn’t upvote and the comments wouldn’t load. Tried again after restarting firefox and same thing. Switched to Lemdro.id and continued like it wasn’t happening.

sadreality,

This is what we in the induatry call "Commitment to to shit postin'"

Thank you for your service!

Mane25,

My thoughts exactly, and also it makes it a pretty useless thing to DDoS for what ever reason.

Shit indeed just works!

razieltakato, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Yes, only for fap purposes.

Yearly1845, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I deleted my account so I can’t post anymore but I sometimes go there for the occasional answer.

SwingingTheLamp, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

On dating and relationships: “Just be confident.”

It’s not wrong, but spectacularly unhelpful. I mean, a brain surgeon has to be confident to go cutting into somebody’s head, but clearly that’s not enough, right? Confidence as a romantically-attractive quality is a very particular (and peculiar) performance. Going to a party 110% certain of one’s own value, sitting in a corner with a confident set of one’s jaw, and silently waiting for the ladies to form a queue is…

…sufficient, apparently, because you just to be confident.

dhruv,

I think they might have meant confidence in the sense to go out and try things you’d normally be shy to do. But that’s only how I’d interpret it.

_number8_, in Lemmy.world is down because of a DDOS attack

at least we’re just having outside agitators disrupt our site rather than the admins slitting its wrists and letting it bleed out [whilst sucking the blood]

leapingleopard,

and laughing all the way to the bank

elbarto777,

Found the DDoSer.

embit, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Binding of Isaac, over 1170 hrs.

Have I seen everything or am I any good at it? Hell no.

sagethesagesage,

There are so many ways that Isaac is just a pain in the ass, horse shit, mf of a game

But somehow it’s just, like, immaculate.

Someone or a group must have some hate towards Lemmy.World. Jeez.

genoxidedev1,
@genoxidedev1@kbin.social avatar

I hate how these types of sad people with excuses for a life actually exist.

I express no sympathy at all towards them because these are the people because of whom we can't have nice things, they are undeserving of sympathy.
If they wanted my sympathy for their sociopathy they should go to therapy instead of wasting their time destroying everything that brings even the slightest amount of joy to others just because they can't feel joy themselves and can't handle other people and communities thriving.

Fuck LMAO and his ilk.

space_of_eights, in If people using Reddit are called Redditors, then what do we call people who use Lemmy?

I use Lemmy and Kbin simultaneously. I prefer the term ‘Fedditors’, which I recently read in a similar thread…
