Well shit, just set up shop here. Had made a back up account on vlemmy the other day and that's down too. What's going on?
Vlemmy.net went down? Anyone know why or how?
No one knows, site went down suddenly with no explanation
And it’s likely we won’t get an explanation. The admin closed their donation accounts too. Looks like they either walked away or got seriously hacked. It seems they were worried about illegal material on their server, which was on their own machine at home, so walking away would make a lot of sense.
