Comment on More DDOS(?) traffic

  Could be a scraper? But it doesn’t sound much like one if the user agent wasn’t clear, or suspicious. A DoS attack would probably be making an odd request, intended to waste the most resources possible.

  I may have pissed off the users from that other Australian Lemmy instance today. I hope that didn’t cause it.

      Ha! We are not even the biggest instance in Australia. Nor are we the oldest or most used.

      The biggest/oldest Australian instance I know of is Blahaj. While you can argue they’re more global than Australian, I count them because 1. I am super proud of them and what they’ve built and 2. Ada is in Brisbane and active in our communities. 😀

        I had no idea Blahaj was Australian run! Super interesting!

        Are there any more Australian instances?

        I suppose AZ was just the first to really dive in to fill that Australian communities niche in a somewhat organised way.

        Oh shit. There are a few, apparently. No, I was referring to lemmy.net.au.
