/kbin quick update

As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :) #kbin #kbinMeta

No problem, seems someone is jealous. Do whatever it needs.

Keep up the great work.

I noticed this earlier. I wouldn't mind DDoS protection sticking around until things settle down. Thanks for the quick action!

Ahh, is this why I keep getting asked to prove I'm human? I wasn't sure if that was because my VPN was doing something goofy or if the site's just getting hammered with new users (like myself).

@ernest,

Can you point me to documentation to deploy kbin natively on linux? I know there's a well documented docker installation guide, but I was looking for something native to Linux. I've successfully got postmill going until I realized it's not (yet?) part of the the fediverse. postmill and kbin share very similar UI and I wanted to try out the deployment of kbin for evaluation before eventually(hopefully) rolling an instance out

No problem, keep the protection up as long as it's needed.

And thanks for you work :)

Thanks for keep things running well. Is the DDOS mitigation confirmed to be causing federation issues or is it speculation at this point? How does Mastodon deal with it?

Appreciate the work you are doing and it's been cool watching kbin develop so rapidly! Uptime has been impressive given the circumstances.

The suble signs of success is when someone tries to mess with you. Well done!

No worries. You're doing a great job. Keep it up.

Glad to see kbin taking off. I prefer it over lemmy and the magazine concept has helped me explain it to others. I tell people kbin is like a shop. Anyone can set up their own shop. Then people can create magazines, and in those magazines, posts are like articles and you can comment on those articles. But this shop can also see the magazines in other shops etc. Its a bit arbitrary but it's actually helped people understand the fediverse in terms they understand
