I have been thinking of self hosting my own #ao3 server as more redundancy. I actually love how we all gather here but with #ao3down tells me we gotta spread around the redundancies.

They're software is convoluted to host but gonna be worth the effort.

We're back!!!

Thank you #AO3 team!!! We love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Liebes Internet,
man greift keine non-profits wie AO3 an, und wenn es doch wer tut, wo bleibt hier eigentlich der Gegenangriff auf das verkackte Botnetzwerk, dass gerade Millionen Leuten auf der Welt ihre 100% kostenlose UNterhaltung klaut?!?!?!?

Hello my dear #Fediverse nerds

Would accessing a cached copy of a fic on #AO3 contribute to their ongoing issues with the DDoS attack? Or is this like a safe workaround?

Asking for a me.

Thanks in advance!

If I can give you one advice, for rainy days like these in the future, once AO3 is properly up again, download some of the fics you intended to read (I see your open tabs). It's easy, 2 clicks, you can choose from epub, pdf, txt, html, azw3 formats. Aside from image heavy SMAUs, the size of these files are quite small. You'll have some stuff to read, and you won't contribute to a future DDoS attack by requesting the site to load while the attack is on. #AO3 #AO3down

So missing #AO3 hours am I right?

If you know the name of the fucking idiots who are running a #ddos attack against #ao3, do NOT name them.

They are after attention and other things and the best thing you can do to support our favorite site is not to speak their names.

#otw volunteers will get this under control. There are mitigation techniques. #ao3down

Oh noes!!!

Oh oh... #AO3down #AO3 is down... They are working on it

Boooo :(
AO3 is down again - at least for me it is (I get "Error 503 - Service unavailable
The Archive is down for maintenance." )

#AO3 is still down for me, though it was supposed to be up an hour ago.
