    If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

    Do i really have to explain such a simple thing to someone. Holy shit it’s like im on Reddit again.

    EDIT: Holy shit i am talking about those morons DDOSing lemmy.world

      Lol “no good reason” does not apply to the decisions the Lemmy.world admins have made for which instances to defederate from or what content to allow. They have been very straight forward with those decisions and explaining why.

      Not liking their decision doesn’t mean there is “no good reason”.

      Are you talking about the DDoSers or the admins of lemmy.world? Because, yes, everyone who is trying to use lemmy.world that can’t should hold a grudge against the skids who bought a DDoS service subscription.

      If you’re talking about the admins, you should be more specific. Are you saying that them defederating from another instance is a good reason for that other instance’s users to hold a grudge and DDoS? Because I would bed to differ if that’s the case.

      It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:

      If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

      This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

      then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

      Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

      The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”
