As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

    I wish responses were turned on for that elephant in the room post cause:

    Makes reddit clone>gets absolutely anally sore over the users>the users are banned users looking for a reddit alternative > literally can not stand the people they attracted and then decides to shadow ban people>complains about people complaining about censorship when the person knew they’d attract redditors that got banned> gets even bitchier and more Karen-y and starts going after more people and instances.

    People called out the dev-mod whatever the fuck the pussy is and then they go even crazier after doing the worst form of damage control I’ve ever seen. Yeah maybe don’t insult your user base if you’re trying to do damage control over shadow banning and then tryin to say it was always able be turned off but not advertised MEANING NO ONE KNEW OF THE EXISTENCE

    Then the only reason we found out is because someone had to go a bunch of ways around with coding to figure it out, to figure out what the fuck it even was.

    That person got caught, then tried to save face by saying they were trying to keep the peace used strategic italics and tryed to write calm after venting AT us, about us.

    I don’t know if they’re a dev or a mod but they did a really shit thing and now they’re being a baby about not knowing how to rectify this.
