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.

Startrek.website is probably also run by Admiral Patrick, or maybe he's just someone with admin access there. Either way they seem like bad news, that site should definitely be avoided.

    I don't think I've heard anything positive about the instance so completely unsurprised by what they did AND how they were happy to blame db0 for everything while continuing darvo.

    Only sad this comment didn't federate before the post was locked

    So this user of yours will also be banned for not following the instance values?

    https://startrek.website/u/kirk

    Specifically not following authenticity, ie saying they're a different user but could be trying to increase the moderation you may need to do, and extremely disrespectful, unless that value only counts towards members of this instance.

    This is being brought up specifically as while yes you are a small instance non of this apart from that user would bring traffic here you would need to moderate so it seems as if you are just doing this to cut off a large portion of the fediverse explicitly against principles those in star trek would be for.
