Hey everyone, so as I'm sure everyone is aware Lemmy.World has been experiencing several outages throughout the last few days.

We have been investigating the root cause of these outages but believe that they are related to our current hosting provider (Hetzner) blocking access from ClouldFlare as (we think) they believe that our CDN is a DDoS'er, and is causing these disconnects to our backend server, problematic for sure.

We've opened support tickets with our current provider and are awaiting a response. We have no issue with being as transparent as possible with downtime. Anyone that is curious, can feel free to check out https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world for up to the minute outage information. We are also looking into other fediverse friendly methods of posting status and outage updates

In the meantime, we are evaluating alternative hosting options and solutions to provide a high level of reliability to you, our users. Really, we want to say thanks to everyone for soldiering through all our technical growing pains.

Cheers

Squabblr and Discuit

Discuit is a place where 4142 people get together to find cool stuff and discuss things.

Squabblr doesn't have a count of active users (33k registered users)

I know we are low on the numbers, but still a bit higher than them.

OK, but I didn't say more people ended up there than here. I was just stating the main reason people chose them over Lemmy.

To be honest, with such low numbers, I guess after a while they just came to Lemmy once instances were a bit more stable or went something else altogether

Squabblr decided to become a "Free Speech" platform and remove rules against LGBT hate speech, so they shot themselves in the foot. Almost everybody who was active on Squabblr moved to Discuit, but even Discuit has nowhere near the activity of Lemmy and kbin.

Interesting

Yeah, I had accounts on both Squabblr and Discuit and left Squabblr when the rules changed. Jayclees, the owner, fired the entire admin team when they protested the rule changes.

I don't know how Discuit will compare, but it's mainly Squabblr refugees who think the fediverse is too confusing.
