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.
Sometimes the kind of crap done by people who are selfish wankers is just that - crap - not a cry for help.
Certainly in my personal experience people who haven’t actually grown up as persons to become mature adults don’t actually see the problems that they repeateadly get into with everybody else because of having the emotional complexity and impulse control of toddlers as their fault, but rather as the fault of others.
There’s no cry for help in their actions because they don’t think they need help.
I dunno the dev has made loads of posts in the past year saying they’ll quit lemmy and tesseract only to come back. Clearly they were struggling and finding threadiverse wasnt helping but couldn’t stop coming back…
Feels like crisis/cry for help behaviour to me. Especially since they spent their first couple years on fedi being opinionated but generally polite and contributing compared to… whatever the fuck happened past couple months…
