EDIT: May have just been my browser. After restarting my browser, no issues. Who knew that having over 100 tabs open would slow down my browser? haha! So disregard.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

For the last couple of weeks, lemmy.wtf has been going offline for me several times a day. It usually only lasts about 5 minutes, but it keeps happening. Yesterday, I noticed it went offline around 12 times.

My internet seems fine because other sites still load normally. It only seems to be lemmy.wtf.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

    sounds like the server is getting intermittently overwhelmed by something… some user dumping shit or some ai scraping piece of garbage

    what kind of errors do you see?

      Not seeing any errors, the page just stops loading and goes blank. Maybe it’s just my browser or something. Seems ok today.

      Not sure what you mean? .wtf is my main instance and that’s why I am posting here.

          I only have back-up instances in case of instance closings, and they are: PapaSkwat@discuss.online, PapaSkwat@piefed.zip, PapaSkwat@multiverse.soulism.net, PapaSkwat@nord.pub, PapaSkwat@lemmy.today, lemmings.world (closing).

          I have my backups listed in my profile. I have no clue what you are talking about. If you have a personal issue with those other people, you should message them.

          And nothing you’re saying is on topic or helpful for this thread or this community.

                  You mean like how you will keep following me around and downvoting everything I post regardless of content? Serial downovoting is why I had to ban you in the first place. Your voting history is public: https://lemvotes.org/user/NewPerspective@lemmy.world

                  Seems kinda like you’re targeting people who you disagree with, regardless of the content they post.

                  Let’s let everyone see that you’ve admitted your serial downvoting campaign against me today:

                  Ok, you can ring that bell as long as you want. I realize you’re obsessed with me, but you’re not making sense.

                  You’re accusing me of being several different people who argue with each other, hold different views, and even downvote each other. The link you gave me says someone was downvoting the same accounts you claim are my alts.

                  So what exactly is the theory here?

                  Astroturfing means fake accounts working together to push the same message. But the accounts you listed oppose each other many times. Why would one person create multiple accounts just to argue with themselves and downvote themselves?

                  That would be the opposite of astroturfing.

        Touch grass. Fuck, how else do you know the server goes down a dozen times?

        What a degenerate…

                Posting this again in a comm you don’t own.

                Funny thing is you started it. You banned me once over a year ago for downvoting your fascist posts. I laughed it off because you’re a fucking nobody. But then more accounts started posting the same pro-Trump and pro-green party posts so I blocked you again. And again. And now we’re here because if you want a captive audience, you’ll get one. Won’t let me downvote? I’ll use your own tactics against you. Nobody is coming to save you. You withdraw into your comms where you create the ultimate echo chamber until you decide you want more attention and create a new account. We’ve been at this for over a year and you refuse to change your tactics, Aaron. You even believed when I was an Unwitting Senior and I was better at being a conservative mod than you are. People posted, commented in my comm until I got tired of rubbing your nose in it, then you stole it because ideas against yours must be stopped, right?

                You’re an open book. You have been since the beginning. That’s why I can find your accounts in under a week.

                  You’ve lost me. I’m not conservative and I don’t have a conservative community. I have news communities. I’m just trying to add good content to this platform because I believe in Lemmy.

                  Who is Aaron? Who is Senior? Is this a mispost?

                  None of what you are saying has anything to do with this community or my post.
