Hi there,

I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many nefarious actors trying to break it and I don’t have the time or energy to keep fighting them off.

For your information: Over the pas month I have had to:

  1. Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) signups.
  2. Delete a bunch of literal white noise uploads that filled my 4TB picture storage… Twice.
  3. Repair Lemmy (or rather pictures) after it crashed because of full storage.

I will keep waveform.social active until Friday next week so you can pull data from here, though I expect most of it has been federated to other servers anyway.

    What a shame - I had wondered why my Memmy app kept failing to work but if I went via a browser without logging in Lemmy was still up and running.

    Thanks for the work you put into this, gutted it didn’t really take off, and I wish people would just fuck off with their efforts to break stuff for no apparent reason. Dickheads.
