There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.
Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!
Update OK we’ve implemented a fix, again many thanks to @sunaurus@lemm.ee for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we’ve seen last couple of days. Let’s see what they will come up with next…

Or maybe it’s a jealous u/Spez
Hexbear was just defederated so that could have something to do with it
Hexbear wasn’t federated to begin with.
Yeah, but they were planning on it and I could see the block leading to some sour grapes

A very pro-communist instance was blocked from interacting with all of Lemmy.world.
Communists mad about Free Association? Say it ain’t so!

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing that it’s the admins’ right to block hexbear, I was just pointing out that may have led to this attack. Only speculation though
