I have been thinking of self hosting my own #ao3 server as more redundancy. I actually love how we all gather here but with #ao3down tells me we gotta spread around the redundancies.

They're software is convoluted to host but gonna be worth the effort.

ok it's back 😭 I was ready for a very bleak future and now am immensely relieved I don't have to live that apocalyptic fanfic-less vision

Visiting FFnet for the first time in years to try and get my fix.

... Ugh, AO3 needs to come back soon! 😩

Liebes Internet,
man greift keine non-profits wie AO3 an, und wenn es doch wer tut, wo bleibt hier eigentlich der Gegenangriff auf das verkackte Botnetzwerk, dass gerade Millionen Leuten auf der Welt ihre 100% kostenlose UNterhaltung klaut?!?!?!?

I didn't expect the ao3 crash to affect me so badly. Wow, maybe I need deaddiction.

In all honesty though, what's happening is messed up, and yet it's also nice to see communities coming together in support.

Archive of Our Own is down, and it could be offline for weeks

The popular fan fiction website is currently the victim of a DDoS attack.

If I can give you one advice, for rainy days like these in the future, once AO3 is properly up again, download some of the fics you intended to read (I see your open tabs). It's easy, 2 clicks, you can choose from epub, pdf, txt, html, azw3 formats. Aside from image heavy SMAUs, the size of these files are quite small. You'll have some stuff to read, and you won't contribute to a future DDoS attack by requesting the site to load while the attack is on. #AO3 #AO3down
