We're getting scapegoated for the DDOS attack that affected us too yesterday, all because @Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net made one (admittedly kinda funny) joke here.
Normally I wouldn't post petty internet bullshit like this but I thought our admins should know.
Edit: Entire thread is a gold mine for dunk tank material tho
Edit2: Now the Spook of @Alaskaball@hexbear.net is getting namedropped
Edit3: So after some digging (read: 5 mins browsing lemmy instances) another user made this post saying the attacker was someone with a personal beef with .world completely unrelated to us? Documented methodology of attack is different but similar to the spam bot we got hit with too, but idk I'm just amateur hour here not an OpSec pro.
Edit4: I was trying to click on the links provided in that post to double check but lemmy.world went down 
Edit5: Official Statement
So who is attacking us? One thing that is clear is that those responsible of these attacks know the ins and outs of Lemmy. They know which database requests are the most taxing and they are always quick to find another as soon as we close one off. That’s one of the only things we know for sure about our attackers. Being the biggest instance and having defederated with a couple of instances has made us a target.
Damn, I never knew what it was like to live somewhere rent-free until now
I think there are situations where that guy's comment are fine, and situations where it's not, and their telling of the story most likely hides a shitty reactionary context.
Like that thing where antifeminists show up in feminist discussions and start talking about male circumcision; it's a legitimate issue (that feminists care about!) being used to shout over a different one. Or like how "all lives matter" was used to shout down people saying "black lives matter," even though the statement "all lives matter" would be good in response to anti-homeless rhetoric.
i agree they might not be telling the whole story either.
Yeah he wasn't, he actually demanded that leftists should talk less about trans issues. On hexbear. He demanded that trans people shut up in their safe spaces, that turd of a human being. And then he got all defensive and gaslighty and trying to weaponize his identity, all "i was bullied in school for being gay" or "i'm bi myself" and incoherent, contradictory shit like that.
Between this and how they talk about "oh i loved being on the sub but hexbear is just a shitshow" I can probably guess when and from what struggle session they left.
