I am a reddit refugee from the mod wars. I love it here. I originally made an mbin account but then 9 months ago mbin seemed to die so I made a new fedia.io account and things have been going swimmingly so far.
A few days ago I noticed that fedia.io pages have been loading increasingly slowly. All I am wondering is where the best magazine/online place/other forum I can check is to see if there are any issues happening on fedia.io or anything that might be responsible for the slowed performance.
I can’t just search “Is fedia.io down” like I would with other online resources. Any help or steer towards more appropriate places for me to ask this question would be much appreciated.
If they haven’t taken action against the the genai scraping bots going around, it’s likely what causing those slowdowns
@Novamdomum@fedia.io Yep, it’s completely down for me today.
@jerry@infosec.exchange Not sure if you’re already aware.
@Chozo @Novamdomum can you DM me your IP address? The site has been under a heavy ddos by scrapers and I think my script to identify those scrapers got a little carried away.
Done :)
I think there’s some sort of DDOS attack going around because I’ve been in the same boat with kbin.earth slowing down. kbin.earth’s traffic has nearly doubled in just the past few days and I’m still trying to figure out the source.
I found:
For support, please visit our matrix channel at: #fedia.io:melroy.org
I’ve had luck communicating with the kbin.earth admin on matrix
There is !fedia@fedia.io but that place seems inactive. I couldn’t find a status page listed in their sidebar. When I was looking around it was very slow so it isn’t just a problem with you
I’ve noticed intermittent issues on my instance as well. Perhaps targeted disruption.
Same, I had troubles with loading times as well, Jerry is pretty active on Mastodon, you can try mentioning him (And post about it on !fedia@fedia.io )
Yeah, it’s having issues like a MF.
