Ruqqus also under heavy DDoS recently. In fact they're down right now.

Oh wow. Thanks for the info. That sucks. We gave them our script that would help prevent it, but I don't think they were able to use it unfortunately.

There's a lot of DDOSing going around right now, it's pretty out of control tbh. It's gone from being an occasional fringe issue to a central concern in just a matter of weeks, and it sounds like ruqqus is having the same thing happen to them. I wonder how wide-spread this thing really is

Dev here (kek). Thanks for the code. We still have to implement it; we're currently migrating to AWS. I'm happy to hear your DDOS mitigation is working out well!

Nice, if you all need any help please let me know. I like to help support alternatives

Someone is just going to call and report you to Amazon and your hosting is gonna get cancelled. Do you know that or not? You can count on it happening, if not tomorrow then in the near future.

So you were the awesome guys who did that - thanks! I like ruqqus, saidit too - we need to keep free speech alive

Are these scripts public?

[–]magnora7[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Hm looks like ruqqus is up now.

They're not public at the moment but they will be eventually part of the open source for saidit, so anyone can make their own site and defend it from ddos.

Partly up at the moment. It's been on life support all day. Mostly down this morning (I'm in UK time).

Gotcha, I hope they're able to stay up

[–]muyuu 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

btw it's down again on my end

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

still loads for me, maybe you're just blocked because they have their anti-ddos measures turned up so high?

[–]muyuu 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

probably location-based, but plenty of people are reporting it in discord too

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ah yeah it just went down for me. They're probably overloaded and their server is failing every other request or something like that
