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.

Reminds of when I got dumped, and went out with an air rifle and shot a couple birds (would have been 3, but I missed with the last slug I found). Utterly out of character. I wonder (and doubt) if they (at least yet) likewise feel greatest remorse for their weakest moment [of "hurt people hurt people"].
... And reminds of [in Babylon5] when Lennier had a moment of fail, out of character, ran from saving Sheradin, ... and How D'lenn handled it, sympathetic to how we are each susceptible to such moments of fail and we let our worst overtake our better.
Still... another's capacity for such wise sympathy (or empathy), is no excuse for them.
[Edit: ... After being reminded of the specific situation this time though... I strongly doubt that's even their weakest moment of hurting people; strongly doubt that's a mere case of a rare moment of letting their worst get the better of their better... given what was initially done (and in which direction!!!). Wardrobe not big enough for all those skeletons [that I imagine, I hope, merely metaphorically].]
Very well put, even if the babylon5 reference went over my head. Now I know what to watch on my day off!
And yeah, I don't agree with any of the choices here, just, this feels like the Internet drama of the old net, and has a very genuine feeling to it, if that makes sense?
I've met people like this, I genuinely do think they were trying to #savelemmy and carve out a little space of their own. Through somewhat malicious ends admittedly, but I know they saw their initial actions as righteous. (Which, I disagree with heavily ofc)
I wonder what they are feeling right now? I highly doubt this is that last act, I think some kind of half apology is going to make its way out.
Quick side note regarding:
Don't judge it by season 1, when it was still finding its feet. It's worthy, past whatever scruffy shabbiness of early season 1.
@Digit hey by chance are you the Digit this guy is always looking for? https://coracle.social/people/nprofile1qqs8wakr9493685t725kh2ltgwke4hs400fk8kymslak8eh3g42c3zqx0vsmr
... fairly obviously not. LOL. Key piece of evidence, I'm still alive.
