What would be the probability of u/spez being behind this attack, in an attempt to sabotage lemmy?
Indeed, never let “facts” or indeed anything like that get in the way of your opinion and the things you say!
The Walgreens drugstore got robbed. Was their competitor, CVS, behind it?
Minimal. It frankly just doesn’t actually advance his goals very significantly. Nor is he a particularly clever man that thinks of unusual strategies.
I think his focus is on squeezing his current userbase more than any kind of long term caring about the size of it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he plans to quit his job in the next 5 years and collect a fat severance anyway. He’d rather people not leave, but DDoSing a small chunk of people somewhere else doesn’t really help much.
This is a random attack, so ask yourself who benefits? For one thing, it’s fun. It also pisses some people off. It also irritates a fairly politically active population.
Who wants all those things? Trolls, of course. Why are they, specifically, trolling? Varies individual to individual, but mainly it’s about causing pain to others.
With all the problems lemmy.world has been having, I’ve been using the opportunity to test out kbin as well.
Hopefully the Lemmy devs will be able to sort out all the problems.
I hate assholes that do this. Why? I mean really why?
Children. They’re children. Let’s not call these childish little bastards “men”!
Was it someone with Turtle something in their handle? I can’t remember his/her whole name but they freaked out a few weeks ago when they got banned on Reddit after being a power mod that enjoyed being a jerk and they showed up here in Lemmy for a day or two.
Awkwardtheturtle
I remember seeing the screenshots of their tantrum. That person severely needs to touch grass.
Lemmy.world can’t catch a break.
