people are asking if I know what actually happened, what kind of attack it was and such.

I didn’t see a lot of confirmed info about it (and didn’t really look too hard either), but judging by what I’ve read so far, I’m assuming a combination of doxxing, pestering the hosting and threatening legal harassment.

supposedly the person who hosted it took it down themselves to get the heat off of them - and I can’t blame them, that’s reasonable, no one doing this should ever feel expected to stand up to being personally targeted. that’s what we have a community for. they can back off to ensure their own safety, while we deploy a hundred more mirrors.

(posting this as a separate reply in case edits don’t fully federate.)
