This post breaks rules 1 and 3, but basically what the other comments said. It’s the biggest instance so it’s the biggest target. Some weeks ago there was a guy squatting community names and they got banned, after which they spammed new communities with random names, and the instance has been DDOS’d repeatedly. TBH no hard feelings towards lemmy.world, but I’ve switched to another one, used lemmy-migrate, and just resumed my scrolling. It’s not really worth it to stay there at the moment.
