    Thing is, these terrorists aren’t trying to destroy the fediverse, they are trying to retaliate specifically against lemmy.world

      How petty do you have to be to hold a grudge towards a specific Lemmy instance? It’s like they’re children who got banned from their favorite Minecraft server.

        If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

        Do i really have to explain such a simple thing to someone. Holy shit it’s like im on Reddit again.

        EDIT: Holy shit i am talking about those morons DDOSing lemmy.world

          Lol “no good reason” does not apply to the decisions the Lemmy.world admins have made for which instances to defederate from or what content to allow. They have been very straight forward with those decisions and explaining why.

          Not liking their decision doesn’t mean there is “no good reason”.

          It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:

          If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

          This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

          then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

          Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

          The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”

      Idk if I’d go so far as saying they’re terrorists, they aren’t using violence. But the vibe and dedication makes me think it’s the same person that got mad that they couldn’t run every community on the instance or some shit and then proceeded to spam create hundreds of communities
