EDIT: May have just been my browser. After restarting my browser, no issues. Who knew that having over 100 tabs open would slow down my browser? haha! So disregard.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

For the last couple of weeks, lemmy.wtf has been going offline for me several times a day. It usually only lasts about 5 minutes, but it keeps happening. Yesterday, I noticed it went offline around 12 times.

My internet seems fine because other sites still load normally. It only seems to be lemmy.wtf.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, it's one of the least stable ones sadly. https://lestat.org/

Ahhh, so it wasn't just me or my imagination!

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Touch grass. Fuck, how else do you know the server goes down a dozen times?

What a degenerate...

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Huh? What does that have to do with this post or this community?

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Read it again, but slower friend

What does what you said have to do with this post or this community?

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Posting this again in a comm you don't own.

Funny thing is you started it. You banned me once over a year ago for downvoting your fascist posts. I laughed it off because you're a fucking nobody. But then more accounts started posting the same pro-Trump and pro-green party posts so I blocked you again. And again. And now we're here because if you want a captive audience, you'll get one. Won't let me downvote? I'll use your own tactics against you. Nobody is coming to save you. You withdraw into your comms where you create the ultimate echo chamber until you decide you want more attention and create a new account. We've been at this for over a year and you refuse to change your tactics, Aaron. You even believed when I was an Unwitting Senior and I was better at being a conservative mod than you are. People posted, commented in my comm until I got tired of rubbing your nose in it, then you stole it because ideas against yours must be stopped, right?

You're an open book. You have been since the beginning. That's why I can find your accounts in under a week.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You’ve lost me. I'm not conservative and I don't have a conservative community. I have news communities. I'm just trying to add good content to this platform because I believe in Lemmy.

Who is Aaron? Who is Senior? Is this a mispost?

None of what you are saying has anything to do with this community or my post.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

PS you railing against MediaBiasFactCheck authority and accuracy is a TEXTBOOK example of an ad hominem.

DailyMail sux

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

K. Still nothing to do with my post or this community.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd congratulate you for playing dumb so well but we've literally had that conversation before

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem unwell. Like you're having an episode or something. I'm not joking. You are not making sense. You seem to think my name is Aaron, or Senior or something. I don't have any clue what's up with what you're saying or who those people are or why you think I am him or her. This conversation is wild! Let's try to stay on topic. My post is about a lemmy.wtf server issue I was having, and seems to be resolved now anyway.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's been pointed out to you multiple times that you're DonaldJMusk. You can't even keep details of your sock puppets straight. Every comment is for the rest of Lemmy. But you know that, hence the purges.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you have a problem with other mods, then bring it up with those mods. Nothing you're saying has anything to do with this post or this community or any of my communities. You seem very fixated. Please get help.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

This you?

Why would you make a bot army to downvote yourself? The only reason I can think of is a desperate cry for attention when nothing else worked.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't have a lemy.lol account. My accounts are listed in my profile. Nothing you are saying has anything to do with this post, this community, or any of my communities.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So somebody created an account with your name over a year before you made this account and we're supposed to believe it wasn't you? Playing dumb has gone too far, that's a lie I don't think the people will believe and you know how stupid us lemmies are. Don't fight it, this account also paints broad strokes of Lemmy like some other accounts I know. You have so many tells.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I've only been on Lemmy for 8 months are so. I came over from Reddit because I got banned there for calling the president a fat cheeto pedo. So I joined up here. Nothing you are saying makes any sense and none of it has anything to do with my post or this community or any of my communities. My post is about this instance going down briefly for me, and it seems to have been resolved anyway. No clue what you are going around the bends about.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not reading your lies now that you want to change the story. It's your word against... Your word.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought you said I was that guy, but now looks like he is really Nicole? Or she is Nicole? Or Aaron? Or unwilling Senior? Or a robot? All those people are arguing with each other? Against you? What is going on? I don't follow what you're saying here. You are not making any sense and nothing you have said has anything to do with me or my post or this community or my communities. You are having an episode or something.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Read it again, but slower friend

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

None of that has anything to do with me or this post or this community or my communities. Maybe you should message those people in your picture and talk to them about your issues.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well that's just factually incorrect

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

None of what your saying has anything to do with me, my original post here, this community, or any of my communities. If you have a problem with the other mods you are talking about, you should reach out to them directly.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not the only one. Deny all you like, people aren't buying it.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've never been to any of those communities, so why would I care if I was banned from them? Lots of people on Lemmy have been banned from lots of communities. None of what your saying has anything to do with my original post here, this community, or any of my communities. If you have a problem with the other mods you are talking about, you should reach out to them directly.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So it's fair to ban you being someone else but not to tell you you're being somebody else. Got it. Makes sense, not good sense, but the same sense that had you build a bot army to downvote your own posts.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You think I downvote my own posts now? Wow, ok. Sure, buddy. None of what you're saying has anything to do with my original post here, this community, or any of my communities. If you have a problem with the other mods you are talking about, you should reach out to them directly.

[–] 3Fast4You@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to the conversation! This is the 3rd time I've made that claim in this thread alone!

This is one of your tells

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why not post from your own instance?

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Not sure what you mean? .wtf is my main instance and that's why I am posting here.

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're CelticViking aka JamesCroll: https://social.doomprepper.com/u/jamescroll

aka DonaldJMusk aka UniversalMonk aka QuantumTickler aka ProudAntifa aka TheSilentNickel aka RalphNader2028

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

?? I am none of those. What does any of that mean?

I only have back-up instances in case of instance closings, and they are: PapaSkwat@discuss.online, PapaSkwat@piefed.zip, PapaSkwat@multiverse.soulism.net, PapaSkwat@nord.pub, PapaSkwat@lemmy.today, lemmings.world (closing).

I have my backups listed in my profile. I have no clue what you are talking about though. If you have a personal issue with those other people, you should message them.

And nothing you're saying is on topic for this thread or this community. What in the world? lol

I'm going to keep ringing this bell as long as you keep up the astroturfing.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok, you can ring that bell as long as you want, but it makes no sense. I realize you're obsessed, but you're still not making sense. You are accusing me of being many different people who seem to conflict with each other anyway.

Why would I be several different people who argue with each other and have totally different viewpoints? I thought astroturfing was people who support each other.

The names you list are all opposed to each other. So I don't get. What do you think the reasoning would be behind that if it were all the same person? Why would one person be a bunch of different people who argue with each other? What do you think that would acheive?

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Lies. These accounts agree and support each other at nearly every turn constantly posting in each other's comms (and nearly ONLY each other's comms). You can't control the narrative. You suck at astroturfing which is why I'm calling you out. Anybody checking out c/generalnews can see the pattern is not as you described. Somebody downvotes a PapaSkwat comment and Quantumtickler bans them, vice versa too.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago

The very link you posted was about someone you think is me, who created a bot army to downvote someone welse who you think is an alt of me. Did you even look at your own link?!

What "narrative" do you think I am trying to "control"? So you think that random news articles in a general news sub is controlling a narrative? What narrative?

You just now said I "suck at astroturfing." Ok, so if I suck at it so much, then why would that be a problem? If I'm so terrible at it, and all my supposed alts downvote each other, I don't see the purpose of any of it.

I just checked the comm I mod and I don't see any shared upvotes between any of the alts you named. So again, that's not astroturfing.

So now you are saying that I "suck at astroturfing" and that my alts post random general news to a general news community. Ok, so why would that be a terrible thing you are so opposed to even if it were true. You're mad that you think someone is a bunch of different alts posting random news? So still not getting the point of any of that. I don't understand why you think I would do that. And I don't understand why you would be mad about that.

What is the narrative you think is going on here?

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

@Meldrik@lemmy.wtf, can something be done about this?

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I hope does, and I hope he sees your downvoting campaign. Because your voting history is public: https://lemvotes.org/user/NewPerspective@lemmy.world

Hmmm, seems kinda like you're targeting certain people who you disagree with, regardless of the content they post. That's not very cool.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

You mean like how you will keep following me around and downvoting everything I post regardless of content? Serial downovoting is why I had to ban you in the first place. Your voting history is public: https://lemvotes.org/user/NewPerspective@lemmy.world

Seems kinda like you’re targeting people who you disagree with, regardless of the content they post.

Let's let everyone see that you've admitted your serial downvoting campaign against me today:

[–] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seems like it but no. Try again.

You really think you got me but I couldn't care less.

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I have no desire to get you. I just want everyone to see how you really are. If you don’t care, then why make such a fuss, and why keep following me around?

I’m genuinely curious. When you get this focused on someone, do you recognize that it’s unhealthy, or do you convince yourself it’s normal? It’s weird, but I guess I should be flattered.

How often do you think about me? It must be a lot, since you keep showing up and accusing random people of being my “alts.” Every time someone posts something you don’t like, do you wonder if it’s secretly me?

And if I really were all these different accounts like you claim, what exactly do you think you’re stopping? By your own theory, I could just move to another instance and use a new name whenever I wanted. I'm wondering, how many people do you think I am? Don't be coy, go ahead and give a number. I wanna know! This is fascinating to me!

So even inside your own theory, you’re fighting a losing battle. Does that ever occur to you while you’re following me around?

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

sounds like the server is getting intermittently overwhelmed by something.. some user dumping shit or some ai scraping piece of garbage

what kind of errors do you see?

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not seeing any errors, the page just stops loading and goes blank. Maybe it's just my browser or something. Seems ok today.
