If you saw it moving, that means it wasn’t an Angel. They literally don’t exist when observed.

This is also the dev that got really hurt over his paying customers not liking when he completely changed the app they paid for under their nose with no option to roll back, and quit pushing updates for a while after that. It was a whole thing.
I’m not paying a dev that can’t handle feedback and has an entire fanclub cheering on literally every single decision.
Except…it’s being DDOS’d, so no, it isn’t.
If anything this is basically establishing to everyone out there that if you want to kill an instance or encourage people to move to a different one (with different admins who might have different…“styles”), just DDOS it and promote your alternative instance as a refuge.
I’m sticking with .world because the admins there are chill. Don’t feel like rolling the dice on a new instance where some power mods probably set up shop.
I wish people would stop using this advice without some caveats. The instance you choose is also about the admins your choosing to have your account under.
I’ll stay on Lemmy.world because I trust the admin there. Any time you jump to a new instance, you better hope it’s run by levelheaded, fair-minded people.
Are you just going to make one of these every single time?
Ugh
“Ugh” what?
Then you should appreciate that the reliability of the social network is just fine. The idea is this social network isn’t dependent on one instance.
Now, granted, if a big one struggles, the network loses some communities temporarily, but the network is stable and other instances remain active.
It’s just growing pains from an extreme influx almost literally overnight and generally just that this is somewhat early days. It’s going to be messy, it always is early on, no matter what the social network.
Also…there’s a non-zero chance it’s getting hit relentlessly by DDOS.
would rather not use anything google because of privacy reasons.
Amazon is just as bad if not worse.
So this was before cell phones, and I’ll bet the landlines got knocked out by the quake, so yeah, in the immediate aftermath, you’d have no idea if your family was ok until you raced home to check on them. Makes perfect sense they wouldn’t stop to take the shit off first.
