Sunsetting Waveform.social - waveform.social
waveform.social
Hi there, I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many nefarious actors trying to break it and I don’t have the time or energy to keep fighting them off. For your information: Over the pas month I have had to: 1. Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) signups. 2. Delete a bunch of literal white noise uploads that filled my 4TB picture storage… Twice. 3. Repair Lemmy (or rather pictures) after it crashed because of full storage. I will keep waveform.social active until Friday next week so you can pull data from here, though I expect most of it has been federated to other servers anyway.

So, the instance this community is hosted on is being sunset due to no-life piece of shit degerate DDoSing script kiddie removed targeting a relatively small music-based Lemmy instance. As pathetic as it is that this is how some loveless freak losers choose to spend their time and money, the sooner I react to this roadblock, the more of this community can be preserved.

I don’t think a full community migration on Lemmy is possible yet, so we’re gonna have to start over from scratch.

Lemmy.studio looks good I think. Music-based, only 2 blocked instances, open to new communities. Waveform.social seems to mostly house communities for electronic music, while Lemmy.studio at least has an emo community where mfs are posting The World Is A Beautiful Place albums. I think it’ll be a better fit for us overall.

Tl;dr
