From the Average Lemmy Servers Online by Day graph
- 18th September: 1224
- 19th September: 1002
Does anyone know more about this? Seems a bit strange to have all of them going down on the same day
Update: they are back: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
I was thinking it’s only spam servers, but it might actually just be downtime for hetzner or something.
Instances do not get banned on lemmy. You can run any kind of an instance.
That said, part of this could be providers pruning “fake customers”, aka spammers, scammers, etc, who “paid” for their servers with stolen CC and SSN.
Edit: Someone up to making an uptime map for Lemmy, placing servers on a map based on where they report originating at? This could help seeing if a specific datacenter has downtime.
I think the Fediverse.observer stats for the 19th are off - it’s showing that drop across all software categories - Mastodon and Kbin show the same dip.
Could this be due to the .ml and a few other domains thing again? The issuer is gradually pulling all of the free domains from people, while leaving the paid users active until their term is up.
Doubt it, that’s usually just a single command on the top level domain. Everything gets kicked out at once.
Edit: Also, suppo.fi also seemed to be down for a bit, and it’s probably in DE hetzner datacenter.
Ah, I didn’t know it was all at once, yeah sounds more like what you said in the other comment about Hetzner or providers pruning customers then.
The German Feddit was down for quite a while, but if this counts for 200 servers I do not know.
There is a drop of 600k comments as well, I know Germans can be efficient, but maybe not that much
