I gave a bit more background info as to what was going on in my reply on the crosspost on dbzer0: https://lemmy.world/comment/3950446
It wasn't just the takedown request, it was also the fact that we were moving to a different hosting company in another country. And having limited resources to handle the DDOS attacks, site moderation AND takedown request. db0 confirming what, that you still need to dedicate resources to it? Correct.
I appreciate the info, this was interesting to read through! I had heard a lot of people say that they didn’t think there were any actual takedown requests, so I’m glad to get some actual info there.
Tbh though this makes your other comment a little harder to understand. So, you knew that the transphobe troll account thing actually happened, yet you treated the original commenter as if he was full of shit.
Like yeah, as you showed there were a lot of reasons behind the decision. But I think it’s fair to say that this troll was very much one of those reasons, if not a major force in getting all of this rolling to begin with.
Either way, thank you for the transparency. I was just surprised to see that commenter get so massively downvoted when they’re talking about events that literally happened.
That guy above is calling us liars and saying there were no takedown requests while there were. Yes bungiefan was trolling but there was more going on, as I explained in the post I just linked you.
To be fair, I didn't know at the time I wrote that there were actual takedown requests in the background. Apologies for adding to the pile-on.
All good bud
