Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Yes, Crowdsec is a protection mechanism in place to try and stop bad actors/bruteforce attacks.
I just cleared everyone on this certain blocklist, which means you should be good for now, again.
Sorry this was happening to you and other users.
Awesome, I appreciate it! Going forward, is there anything I should do to make the chances of that happening less likely?
No, this isn't your or any other users fault. It's due to the way Lemmy interacts with the backend, and was hitting some rate limit issues which made it look like an 'attack'. From a LOT of different users. Also known as a distributed denial of service attack. Not your fault!
Thanks again for bringing to our attention, I'll keep an eye on this one.
makes sense. Thanks!
