    Seems to happen every weekend. It’s why I moved my communities to a different instance. Everyone seems to join lemmy.world and it just can’t cope.

      Bored script kiddies have time in the weekends when they are allowed screen time by their mommies. Then they create scripts to bombard our server and grind the thing to a halt. Gives us the opportunity to improve things like rate limiting etc every time, but also means some downtime…
