As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

O shit, that’s a lot of bans. How many are duplicates? I guess I’m still thinking about how small the fediverse is but that’s probably not true anymore.
The 3000+ was from blahaj alone, and I set it up to go from newest to oldest, and skip accounts that had been unbanned, so no duplicates. I ran it through blahaj first, and then dbzer0, and there were only 500 additional unique bans from from dbzer0 over the last year
Ah, and my bad, when I said duplicates I should have said people creating new accounts to bypass the ban. Or was it done via IP as well?
Ohh I see, yeah in that case probly lots of duplicates! Both dbzer0 & blahaj have disabled IP logging
