Nothing is happening on alien.top. Set if to 'local' and 'comments' and there is a handful of comments from the last hour and before that it was 13 days ago
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
Didn't you ask us to make an exception for your bots when we defederated with alien.top almost two months ago? Special treatment AKA a favor, yes.
Anyway you are always arguing in bad faith, just like when you were trying to spread the message that Lemmy World is too big and bad for the fediverse. It wasn't for the fediverse, it was to push people to your (failing) hosting company. And you are still pushing that same narrative and play dumb when confronted.
Or went with the “just go to lemmy.world” approach, got burned because it was struggling to deal with the influx of people and thought “Aw, Lemmy sucks”.
How many times have I personally explained to you that it was the ddos not the influx of people. Every time you find some way to bash on LW and then you come ask for favors?
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.
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.
He means it's not up to him to make sure the person serving him makes a decent wage. That's up to the employer.
Everyone who works for a company is a 'slave' we are all being exploited, some more than others. But if you make less than minimum wage without tips then yes maybe look for another job.
