Thanks! Been working on the caching and some other performance changes for Lemmy itself. Very glad to hear that those efforts are doing something. We'll see how it goes after the upgrade tomorrow!

I really like Hacker News for the most part. Commentary is well above the cesspool of the alien site. People are really knowledgeable and quick to share it. Sometimes there are comments that pop up from 'tech celebrities' too! Always awesome to see people like tptacek (Thomas Ptacek) or CliffStoll (yes, that one) sharing in the discussions there. Sometimes though, there is an echo chamber mentality where it seems everyone commenting is 'An American white male, making $300,000 annual salary + options'.
As a platform, I appreciate what the moderators do there to keep things on topic and following the guidelines like:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
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.
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.
That's the neat thing; you don't.
The question at hand is whether it is moral to use a platform developed by someone who has committed acts which one deems immoral.
The platform is a tool, much as anything else is. The intent and message is what separate the use of tools. BeeHaw has an amazing intent and purpose. Creation or developer of the tools should not factor into using such.
Every PR you make is going to be denied.
I don't care it shows up as my BitStream Sans Mono, I know you write in comic sans, DENIED.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
This community has that unity and I pray never loses such.
Thanks for sharing with us and your work on everything. Don't burn that candle at both ends friend.
Depends. Who wants to know and why...
I think we got it on an rpi. Thanks for the donations, we managed to buy two of them.
That's what I appreciates about you alyaza. Your kind words and immense level of help in everything beehaw. Thank you. I agree entirely with your sentiments. Not a full time gig, not paid for it, but absolutely happy to help for a community that actually cares about it.
You (and the rest of the admins) are appreciated. Thanks for this space.
That attachment is what they (Reddit) are counting on. It's your community, not Reddits; and they don't care. But you do... while admirable in itself, its being used against you.
