Discussion about the aussie.zone instance itself

founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
 

We've seen some issues with AZ again today. On investigating it looks like more DDOS/abuse traffic from overseas. I've applied the same sort of block as last time we saw this, and things appear to have returned to normal..

The sharp drop is when the "attack" started, the jump is when it was blocked... the red line is blocked requests.

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. 😀

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

Only seems to have one particularly active user, and they're a (probably American) troll.
