Spez loses. Maybe he's the one behind it cause he's salty that people called him out for being a pedophile.
Yeah it's definitely a targeted campaign of sabotage. I'm glad people have found a way to stem the flow, but we'll need a better solution long term.
It wouldn't surprise me if an associate of reddit (or someone they hired at arms length) was responsible for the DDOS attacks, but I highly doubt reddit as a company is hiring anyone to spam CSAM.
Think about what sort of motivations and personality someone would have to do it. IMO it's the guy who got butthurt over not being able to spam and threatened that he would wreck the site.
It's highly unlikely. There are better, less CSAM ways for a company to make lemmy instances unstable. This is clearly for shock and troll value.
I know; I'm just being sarcastic. I didn't think I had to pull out the /s here on Lemmy, cause everyone here seems more intelligent (for the most part).
I'm going to assume you meant that you didn't expect others to post the same sentiment alongside you unironically and not that anyone who replied to you seriously should have known better for literally no reason.
