I’m a honor-less whore. The moment i got word that my husband (ao3) had been injured during war (ddos attacks) I run into the arms of another (fanfiction.net) instead of doing my wifely duties (working on my wips). I’m praying (praying) for the medics (ao3 volunteers) to heal my husband so I can stop being such a useless slut.

Edit, disclaimer: Take this video with a grain of salt, y'all. I follow this guy on TikTok because we have a lot of shared leftist views, but you should know he frequently employs deadpan hyperbole for comedic purposes. Much of this is intentionally exaggerated to convey his point and communicate how frustratingly ridiculous this all sounds on paper. Those of you taking this as 100% accurate and literal are missing the point and exchanging one piece of misinformation for another.

Ao3 is not the first attack carried out by this hacker group and I doubt it will be the last. Cybersecurity experts have good reason to believe Anonymous Sudan is Russian and intentionally creating division between Muslim nations and the West, but that's roughly the limit of the information available to the public. As their attacks are a potential national security issue for the countries affected, not all of the facts are available to the general populace. We can make inferences based on what we do know, but assuming this narrative is the only possible correct one is fundamentally misguided. Please take the time to do your own fact-checking before sharing your opinion and don't believe everything you hear on social media.

As you may have noticed already, Archive of Our Own is currently down, due to a DDOS attack by a group claiming to be “Anonymous Sudan”, which may or may not be a group affiliated with Russia using Anonymous to drive divides against Islamic People, and also target one of the largest sources of LGBT media online.

Something important to also note is that there are actually bills being passed through Congress (or at least on track) that are functionally identical in intention and rhetoric to this hacking attack called the Kids Online Safety Act. if it passes, it’ll censor/cripple the entire internet as we know it for the same political and religious motivations. AO3 will be negatively affected as well, either losing most of its LGBT content at best, or at worst being permanently shut down.

The big one at the moment is the Kids Online Safety Act, but there are also other bills like the EARN IT Act, the RESTRICT Act, and so forth. There’s more information provided in the Links below!

Bad Internet Bills (Website Created by Fight For the Future on Twitter) LinkTree for KOSA (made by volunteers, contains open letter for signing and more articles about the bill in question)

Please take the time to read up and call your Senators to stop this. If you can't do that, then email them and contact the people on this master list here. Especially call Maria Cantwell, since she’s hesitant about this bill!

Additionally, if you happen to have TikTok or some other social media presence, please help spread the word. These people linked below have done so and the more people talking about this, the better!

For everyone trying to get back onto AO3 DONT. They are under a DDOS attack which means that the hackers are flooding the system with useless stuff to make it unusable (simplified version). Reloading is just adding more feedback to the servers and won’t help the situation. For now, just keep an eye on the AO3 status account on Twitter to see when it’s back up!

Withdrawal

I take a deep breath, shielding my eyes from the piercing light of my computer screen. I am sweating profusely. My hands are visibly shaking. Everything seems to hurt now.

It has been 12 hours since AO3 went down due to a DDOS attack. I thought that, just maybe, I could wait it out. I didn’t need my fix today. I could go outside. Talk to friends. Maybe even work on that fic of my own.

My head throbs painfully, almost in time with my racing heart as I refresh the page.

We’ll be back soon!

Again.

We’ll be back soon!

Again.

We’ll be back soon!

Please! Won’t any god out there hear my pleas?

We’ll be back soon!

There are tears streaming down my face as I grab my hair. I know of something that can stop the pain. The desperation. The need to read.

...

I slowly move my cursor to the search bar, deleting the url inside.

You promised you’d never go back, I think.

But I am cold. I am burning. I am desperate. Desperate enough to return...there.

I begin to type.
