Discord through their inaction is actively aiding and abetting this spam attack against Mastodon servers. Screw them 🤬

  @riggs7sct who said they have no control over shutting down a server using their infrastructure to do something that is clearly spelled out in their T&C as not permitted? They're not responding to queries or requests. They're ghosting.

  @abesamma @riggs7sct Of course Discord has a lot of control over their platform considering them being a fully centralized service. They surely could shut down that server tonight if they wanted to but they decided not to do so.

  Blaming Discord for something they have no control over?
  It's no different to hackers using Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Skype, Messenger, Teamspeak, Kik... I mean I could go on listing apps but ye get my point?

  @abesamma there is evidence that this discord server is the target and not the source of those attacks https://fedi.fyralabs.com/notes/9psdqurvye

    im getting really tired... -w- summary of today: someone on a Japanese hacker forum decided it was a good idea to spam the entire Fediverse because they wanted to cancel a minor that DDoSed a Discord bot which apparently made them lost millions (what?) A **Discord bot.** I can't make this shit up man. The real culprit seems to be someone who goes by `mumei` in the ctkpaarr.org forums, whose first post was literally a threat to ap12, that if they don't delete their "Kuroneko Server" Discord bot, they will spam every blog, forum and SNS and cancel him. This shit is ridiculous. The `ap12` account from mastodon-japan was actually fake, and this dude impersonated a minor to get all of the Fediverse (us) to bully him. The forum admins didn't even stop this. Why? lulz apparently. #fediblockmeta #fediadmins #fediadmin #mastoadmin #mastoadmins #spam #cybercrime #cybersec #infosec #drama #discord (📎1)
