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.
Lol, what a loser.

You want to make a place that carves out crazies, good someone should do that. I believe a frontend isnt the place but i also think there is a discussion to be had and an approach where it could work. Most instances already defed these instances already.
You want to crash out and add a bunch of people to a secret blocklist, fine it kills the rep of your project but whatever people can stop using it.
You want to add malicious code to your project, thats disgusting and unironically you should be jailed. You cannot DDOS people because you dont like them. You cannot hijack peoples computers to DDOS. That is unacceptable.

I'm somewhat ok with catering to a political filter in an instance/frontend, even if I prefer open inclusion. But DDOSing anyone in fediverse is bad/unacceptable.
